Barney Frank's Selective Libertarianism

[bobbyw24]

"Some adults will spend their money foolishly," Frank said, "but it is not the purpose of the federal government to prevent them legally from doing it." But this is the same Barney Frank whose Wall Street financial reform bill that, among many other things, tells people what kind of credit they can and cannot have. Like his anti-gambling colleagues, Frank is all for individual liberty until those liberties might be exercised in activities he deems unwise.

I really can't stand that guy

we have an incumbant Democrat as a our governor
we sent 10 Democrats to the HOUSE ...to good ole D.C
we once had 2 Democrat senators until... sen. scott brown!
justin amash's sweep in MICHIGAN has me thinking of being political.

Barney is an ardent supporter of Gay Rights which is quite libertarian, however. :)

we've got more than enough selective libertarians on this site to make up for Barney. ;)
