No Tibs, and I agree with you on that (though it wouldn't be the first time that something took on a new definition - or a different set of principles was attached to the same ideological name...look at how our two parties have essentially swapped places in the course of their history), but the popular perception of what it means to be a libertarian is something altogether more malleable, wouldn't you agree? What do you think carries more heft in politics, the dictionary in our hands or popular perception?
People do call them out, they plug along unphased and their pr machine is well funded.
Well, you can reject my assertion all you like, but if we line up "real libertarians" next to "fake libertarians" one train is on the track and the other is not. It's a comparative analogy.
I believe John Stossel interviewed Rand Paul a few years back, would have been a good time to call him out on that libertarian thing eh? Did he?
Speaking of the Pauls, When will the folks who call out his daddy, Ron, for being a fake libertarian manage to change the popular perception that -he- was a libertarian?
