Welcome to the ADDPDG
Have you grown increasingly weary of Think Tanks and Policy
Organisations, which are murkily funded, directing the country's
future? It seems that all anyone needs to be quoted as an expert
in the media these days is a fellowship or association with an
organisation with an odd sounding and often misrepresentative
name.
Well so have we, and time has come to begin the Deconstruction. We Are Antiwonk, Ready, Willing and Able To Produce An Analytical Product Capable Of turning On A Paradigm.
The ADDPDG pledges that no matter how abrasive and rapid-fire come the critiques; regardless of how threatened we feel from the public exposure of our miserable failures; we will never stoop so low, that we would roll an ambassador's wife.
November 28, 2007 - Delusive Libertarianism
The Annuocular-Derrida Derisorial Policy Deconstruction Group (ADDPDG) has finally packaged together a product for public consumption:
Election 2008 is heating up. Swarming about is a new class of virginal political activists. The supporters of Geeks For Ron Paul, who Emerged from Their Parentally Provided Rent-Free Basement
Domiciles, have been loosed upon the net, thinklessing projecting themselves as members of some heretofore unknown breed of 3l33t15t h4ck3r5, whilst reality is the bleating sounds of a cud-chewing herd. A sucking malestorm void of cluefullness imperils navigation within the datastreams, leaving us duty-bound to fill the singularity which pulls into its event horizon the scant traces of budding rationality created by this horde of Paul Sheeple. Dudes, your steadfast support, facing into the winds of adversity from the typhoon of irrefutable facts, is admirable, but liberty is much much more than an anti-war Republican's promises of an all you can chisel self-servicing greedheaded smorgasborg.
With a creeping minatory pervasiveness the Libertarian Party's leadership has become tainted. A transparent evidentiary exhibit of this is their obscene act of elevating to a position of power within the LP, an odious right-sider, Bob Barr. This was done without Party members' consent. The flip-flopping homophobic architect of the 'protection' of marriage act, who was for the PATRIOT Bill before his constituents had the good sense to toss him out of office, whereupon he now laughably claims to be against it, has yet to apologise to the American Citizenry for his thoughtless and Unconstitutional vote for the theft of our liberty.
Instead of accepting his personal responsibility for a role in the sodomisation of the citzenry, Barr bloats up and loudly croaks out pridefully, like a rutting slime toad, reminiscing about his wretched struggle to take down a President who lied under oath about getting fellated in the Oval Office. Barr poses upon his LP provided pedestal asserting that his positions antithetical to basic libertarian ideals can somehow be magically degraded down to points where he can agree to disagree. In a December 2006 interview with Reason magazine, Barr's core anti-libertarian principles could be easily seen:
reason: In 2002, the Libertarian Party called you the worst drug warrior in Congress. No hard feelings?
Barr: To be honest with you that's never come up in our discussions. I'm not going to let minor disagreements come between us.
reason: But you haven't changed your mind on the drug war, or on gay marriage? [Barr sponsored the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996.]
Barr: There are going to be differences with my colleagues in the Libertarian Party. I can't imagine there is ever going to be a party I agree with 100 percent of time. What I'm interested in is a party honestly committed to liberty and true checks and balances on government power. That's something lacking in our current party system. With regard to gay marriage and the Federal Marriage Amendment, in my view the FMA does nothing except to protect liberty of citizens of each state on what basis they want to recognize marriage. Are there some libertarians who believe differently? I'm sure there are, and I'm sure we'll engage in some debates down the road. I'm not going to let nuanced differences on aspects of particular policies stand in the way of the most important mission. That's ensuring our liberties and protecting the Constitution.
David Weigel, "Bob Barr, Unbowed: An interview with the Republican congressman turned Libertarian Party leader". Reason Magazine, December 18, 2006
Mr. Barr, pray tell us: is there even one LP Platform Plank that you can actually wholeheartedly support?
The fact that the assuredly wide-stanced radically unsocial-conservative Barr has the temerity to call himself a collegue of LP members was itself enough cause to drive many hard-core libertarians from the party. The Libertarian Party has been right-sided, and is now naught but a brutal parody of libertarianism. It has become a refuge for fainéant Republican malcontents, who with slothful arrogance watched and complained as their party of choice became corrupted. They now pose as libertarians, yet they reek of cowardice, and screech harpishly as they scurry back towards the GOP with even a whispering mentioning of a possible future President HRC. This is the stage which has been set for the libertarian poseur Republican, Ron Paul, as the LP mebership has been pumped-up and primed with deceits. It is now poised for a lemmings-styled death march into the ichor drooling maws, that is the Primal Predatory Power in the Party of the Potty Peepers.
Let's not forget the too Miseserly to extend personal liberty Austrian Schooled pretenders, who claim that a vast and unbridled right to possess property far beyond what is preeminent to the state, need be elevated to a position of primacy over the simple, yet cleary predominant Natural Right possessed by All Humans to freely seek where they can find the best personal chances in their life, questing for liberty and pursuing happiness. These MisEschewers of reality then use this personally promulgated perversion as their vehicle for justifying anti-immigrant screeds of thinly veiled racism.
Throughout this vast realm of convoluted revisionary theory, enemies of liberty lie in wait to spring upon the people their obscene conspiracy of religiosity: Christian Reconstructionism.
We, The Annuocular-Derrida Derisorial Policy Deconstrction Group, can only do what any Friends of Liberty must do in these trying times: stand and resist the mass delusions of libertarianism. This we do using the best method at our disposal: hurling insulting analysis of pompous verbosity at the Paulifried, who by their appaling claims to traverse the heights of libertarian ideals, defame us with association to their weak cerebrations of political idiotcracy.
