So he was a libertarian and now he wants big government?
The big issue for the Wisconsin libertarian party as far as I could tell for years was the legalization of drugs and not much else. They wanted limited government when it came to drugs.
I know a lot of leftists who actually consider themselves libertarians. They seriously do not see the disconnect between government intervention and expansion and their ideas that they are libertarians.
I think as long as the government enables them to indulge in any sort of hedonistic behavior as far as drugs and sex are concerned, they believe that it is a libertarian ideal, never mind the intrusion of prohibiting cigarette smoking in any public or private forum or the like. It doesn’t make sense to us, because we are not leftists.
Libertarian sounds cool, but I think they confuse libertarian and libertine.
