Nice try.

Message 19780175

One certainly need not adhere to, or even hold in regard, the objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand (or, for that matter, to Lew Rockwell) to be a libertarian. But there are many parallels and ideological intersections between the two that make almost all libertarians appreciative of her writings, differing by degree from individual to individual.

Being against the Bush Administration is merely one facet of current political discourse. I'd add that it serves as a platform (or, where applies, as a 'qualifier') for any number of political parties and groups.

But to the extent that you are adamantly pro-state, anti-market, and pro-collectivism/egalitarianism, you are by definition not a libertarian; not even of the palest stripe.
