    Maybe they're only putting up libertarian views to push their leftist agenda?

    I don't know... I think they are more arrogant libertarians who think that a properly planned economy will outperform a market one and that intelligently metered "justice" will always provide a superior outcome to simply applying the law. It's a weakness that those with slightly over-average intelligence and/or the highly educated are prone to.

    On paper, it's not difficult to make a case that's true. But the entire recorded history of civilization provides evidence for the opposite...

    One of my favorite columnists is Camille Paglia......

    Astounds me that an otherwise brilliant woman could hold such philosophically opposed beliefs. But in that way, much like Maher (who actually used to hold more libertarian views than he does now...)

    I, too think Paglia is brilliant; one of the most articulate and honest societal "observers" out there - but, conflicted in her perceived application of government.

    The end doesn't justify the means when the "end" means something different to so many people.
