It really should be "if Libertarians were housepets"

I have some difference with Deutsch, but often his comics are dead-on - like this one.

Naw... Libertarians will never be house pets. Are you?

[madamealexis.livejournal.com]

This is totally classic!

That cat is the reincarnation of every upper-class libertarian.

I'm totally posting this in politicomics.

And here I thought I mistook your icon for his.

That ought to be retitled "If Housepets were Extreme Libertarians", surely? ;) or are they all right-wing fascists in the US? ;)

"Libertarian" *means* extreme right-wing antisocial "I got mine so fuck anyone who didn't have my advantages, they deserve nothing" thinking.

If you think the maximum freedom for the maximum people, with the minimal government intervention required to maximise said freedom to *everyone* (aand not just rich people) is good, you're not a libertarian. You're a liberal.

I would argue that is more of a hallmark of classical liberalism rather then capital L liberal party policy.

and face it, if you believe some of us should think for the rest of us, you're a rich liberal.

Oh god yes.

Just one problem. The third panel isn't funny, because that IS exactly what cats think. ;)

[opaqueplanet.livejournal.com]

That's because cats ARE libertarians: there's no "if". It's the punchline!

Well Done Sir!

Personifies the Ayn Rand worshiping ilk perfectly.

I hate it when people confuse "Libertarian" and "Anarchist" - including those who claim they're Libertarians...

[raymond strunk (from livejournal.com)]

Naw... The whole point is, Libertarians are NOT house pets. Are you?

3.5 year late thread necromancy from someone not bright enough to realise it or to have anything useful to say, but still determined to share his ignorance? A case in point.

(And OF COURSE you're using a Facebook ID to post. That's perfect.)

Strunk stunk.

Aaaaanyway, looks like the original leftytoons.com has shat itself in some way, and now you're one of the first hits for this comic. Yay?

He appears to still own the domain, he's just fucked up his Wordpress setup.

Which is, y'know, sad. But could be worse.
