Yes, Alienware would never want their precious "Worst tech support" crown tainted by a company whose support is the best (business) support in the industry.
Best support in the industry? What does IBM have to do with this?
I wasn't actually arguing for a liberatarian society. I"m just saying that most liberatarians fight for the view that complete deregulation leads to better, more efficient outcomes. But then again, Liberatarians foolishly believe markets are always efficient when they are not regulated (which is about as foolish and as proven to be false of any of eco 101 assumptions).
I hardly know where to begin on your army of straw men, here.
Libertarians start from the position that liberty doesn't require justification. If you want to interfere in business deals between private parties, then the burden of proof is on YOU to demonstrate the compelling need to do so.
To a republitard there is no difference between facism and socialism.
You are awfully dense, aren't you?
Fascism is one franchise of socialism, just like Stalism, Maoism, or Trotskyism. Fascists are socialists, and that remains a fact, no matter how many words you try to invent.
A republitard thinks that there is no discernable difference between Italy under moussalini (a fascist state) and todays Findland (a socialist state).
Of course there's a difference, just as there are differences between the China of today and ten years ago. This doesn't change the fact that fascism is also socialism.
My problem with the Libertarian Party is that they seem to me to be much more gung ho about ripping out the safety net before fixing the problems that it (poorly) addresses.
I find that the LP is far more concerned in the near term with removing obstacles to economic development and personal liberty than the dismantling of the welfare state. They both need to be done, but it's far more urgent to end corporate welfare than to end welfare dependency of individuals.
That's the problem -- the Liberatarian only sees direct violence as worth stopping.
What utter nonsense. You're just making this up off the top of your head. Libertarians recognize the need for tort law just like we recognize the need for criminal law.
CATO is very influential with the current administration.
I wish!
Last time I checked, the current administration is still spending money like water, pouring out corporate welfare, fighting against cancer patients who need pot for medical purposes, and spending my tax money to keep same-sex couples from marrying.
Libertarianism has about as much credibility as Communism.
Among ACs on slashdot, perhaps. To the rest of the world, the tens of millions of people killed by the commies tends to put them quite a ways into the negative category.

Your position is that there is no difference between socialism and fascims.
Don't try to tell me what my position is, pinkbot.
A fascist is a socialist. An Orange is a fruit. Are you following this, or is predicate logic something they leave out of "pinko studies" cirricula?
I haven't seen anything from you proving that socialism and fascims are the same thing though.
Why should I attempt to prove your deliberate misstatement of my position?

I make up words like republitard to describe people like you
Of course you do. It's so much easier than actually trying to make cogent points to support your position.
you make up facts
Nobody makes up facts. I acknowledge them, you hide from them.

It's a fact, sunshine. Making up words like "republitard" doesn't change that fact.
