5. just wow.. I like the concept of government regulated capitalism the interviewer

brought up. if the democracy were real, and the representatives really represented the people......

[Moostache]

6. Paul Ryan makes me want to vomit....violently.

That is one of the most annoying people I have EVER had to see on television in my life.
I really would pay good money to watch that smug son of a bitch take it up the figurative ass from Obama in a debate....of course, he would not dare debate on substance, it would be "evade-stump line-evade-stump line-evade-winky-wink" for the entire time...

8. To be a TRUE follower of Ayn Rand,..

you have to be an unrelentingly selfish bastard who doesn't care who has to suffer in the service of her or his own short term self-interest and/or pleasure.

In other words...you have to be a spoiled two year-old child, or a typical housecat.

9. Libertarianism pretends that greed does not exist

But greed is the 'invisible hand of the market' that we always hear about from the right.
