As a vegan, I'm curious what he had to say about vegans and vegetarians. Like much of what he's said in the past on the topic, I don't imagine I'll agree. But now I want to know.

That tease is really cruel. If I buy you a beer will you tell me off the record?

You mean like Neil Boorst or Lars Larson? It's really hard to maintain the illusion of libertarian principles when you refuse to criticize GW Bush - except on right wing wedge issues like immigration reform [especially when your solution is more government].

Libertarians have to be for legalization of all drugs. They should not shirk from denouncing the drug war as a scam but I've found that not all libertarians are as well educated about drugs as I am and have yet to reach that obvious conclusion.

Libertarians should be knee jerk opponents to all military interventions. While some may support the routing of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan the illegal invasion of Iraq is a no brainer. Yet Boorst and Larson are Bush lapdogs on militarism - against all the small government principles that define Libertarianism.

A person should do more than side with small government on limited issues like gun control and abortion. Supporting faux libertarian talk show hosts just because they call themselves libertarian and they have a forum [if they're syndicated on mainstream radio and TV they are political whores - end of discussion]does not further libertarian values!

Nice use of Ad Hominem Circumstantial there, JT Barrie! As a libertarian, I respect everyone's right to idolize who they wish without actually affecting the validity of their resulting arguments.

Besides, are you even familiar with Anthony Bourdain? The question here is that he exhibits a lot of libertarian ideals, and has never officially sided politically.

Also, if you listen to music with more than 2 fans, then the music you're listening to is corporate trash!

JT,

That may or may not be true, but please stop fellating yourself.

Jon,

Yes, yes, yes.
