No; I am pretty sure of what he wrote. It may be an extreme version of how he actually feels but the words are there. It don't make him a bad guy; he's allowed to think anyway he wants; but if you read clearly he did make those statements.
So you consider yourself of the Libertarian persuasion ehh? Can you elaborate somewhat on that?
Also a libertarian philosophy has nothing to do with Republican or Democratic views as propounded by the major political parties. It's a philosophy not a platform.
As I understand the basic tenents of the Libertarian viewpoint it means that personal and property rights of the individual trump any governmental interference with them as long as you respect the rights of others.
That could not be argued since everyone wants to be free to do what ever they need to do to be happy and prosperous. But in the end who will be the arbitrator of what actions infringe upon anothers right to be free?
If you like to play speed-metal music at high volume at 6am on Sunday mornings; your nieghbors might get upset. Thats why we have laws and ordinances and police and government to enforce my right to be peacefull on Sunday morning vs your right to play speed-metal music.
Libertarianism works if people are basically reasonable. Too bad they are not.
But no I don't think I confused your Liberal philosophy with Akhilesh and his Republican views.
