You know you're a libertarian if you think...


1. We should privatize the army - who cares about the disturbing number of mercenaries, or their lack of loyalty?

2. You think everybody is out to restrict your various freedoms

3. Ayn Rand is a genius. Ann Coulter, on the other hand, is a moron.

4. The amount of money it will cost each individual citizen to pay for basic life needs should be supported by charity, and welfare is EVIL

5. When people try to discuss the current administration with you, your face
becomes red, you raise your voice and use the words: "government spending" and "increased the government bureaucracy and power"

6. You think there isn't enough libertarian bias to the media

7. You think all taxes are evil. And Ayn Rand is a voice a reason.

8. You're still not clear about what exactly was wrong with Capitalism.

9. Your parents paid for you to go to an expensive private college and five
years later you're making more than them

10. You like the sight of Gun[dam]s or soldiers
(continue)


Fellow libertartians, have you enjoyed this fine satire? :D

I'm not a Libertarian, but I voted for the party in the last election. And yes, it was good! :)

You know you are a libertarian when liberals label you a neo-con and the neo-cons label you a liberal.

But I'm also not an objectivist. Just someone that finds Ayn Rand a good novelist, and the best defender of capitalism.

Well she may be a genius.

I would refrain from considering any author who has to resort to overblown caricatures and uses no characters that can be defined as coming anywhere near reality to make a point as a genius.

Hehe. No, that's too many people to be a descriptor. To truly be a Libertarian, you have to have complained about being required to wear a seatbelt first. =)

You're a libertarian if you think that the Law of Gravity is coercive and should therefore be repealed.
