Just like his hero Ayn Rand, and his/her economic libertarianism, Paul Ryan is a failure at governance, he should have stayed in the background where immature economic thought works it magic because it does nothing but fantasize. Today, like Rand in her later years, he is a welfare recipient of government. And his refusal to act on Yemen demonstrates he has no soul either. Sad.

"Remember, dear reader, that libertarianism is not what it seems to be. In truth, it would be more accurately called duostandardarianism, where the two standards are:
1. Any governmental or otherwise public action is wrong.
2. Any non-governmental or otherwise private action is right, even if it's identical in every other way to an action condemned by (1).
Starting with these two differing standards in mind, libertarians then proceed to cover them in a heap of dizzying rhetoric, much in the same way that a cat will try to bury its shit. Here's your example for today."
