Someone please shut this down if you have a Young Turks account...
I truly would disagree with Rand if he is standing up for BP since BP is neither American not free market. Pure imperilaist corporatist oil through and through.

Oil was a product of statism. Oil was subsidized by everyone's love affair with state control of the economy. Oil was made big through imperialism
Start with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company then move forward to Operation Ajax and on to now.
Why does it take so many words to convince others that BP was never "free market" and it was always corporatist? What efforts will it take to understand that prosecuting violations to shared environments are consistent with Libertarian philosophy? Anyone who claims that BP is free markets and that libertarians are for destruction of the environment do not not know real 19th-21st century libertarian philosophy and has never read all its contributors.
Who really owns the oceans anyway? If BP owned their own contained pool of water they could do with it as they like so long as it never infringed upon another persons freedom. The ocean is something the entire gulf residents share, you know to like fish and fish for commerce or to enjoy and ensure our environment runs naturally with the natural circle of food chain actions and climate actions...
Why is this so hard?
We also need to correct Rand Paul if he really is calling Obama unpatriotic for criticizing BP. True libertarians which Ron (the father) Paul is, but Rand Paul is not, all understand that BP was a corporatist imperialist protected operation.
It was never free market and is exempt from being a critique of the free market which does not even exist anyway. Yard sales... those are free markets.
