It wasn’t defined in the analogy, so it’s not relevant.
The November 2008 issue of Liberty Magazine contains “The Intelligent Person’s Guide to Presidential Politics”–a series of four articles that make the libertarian case for Barr, McCain, Obama, and not voting. Bruce Ramsey penned the piece in ‘support’ of Obama. It can be found here. He mentions a number of libertarians who will vote for Obama and outlines their reasons for doing so. It’s pretty clear that The Economist’s assertion that libertarians comprise “the biggest brigade in the Obamacon army” is clearly preposterous.
You also might be interested in reading the article on not voting by the always entertaining Doug Casey. Here’s the link.
I’ll go only to vote for the proposed law to eliminate the state income tax. Other than that, I don’t care much as I don’t think it’s going to change anything.
You all got it wrong:
he does it because of incentive and because he was forced ( If he didn’t do it they would point a gun at his head and pull the trigger anyways). In the real world the poor can either receive welfare or starve or become a wage slave earner, Which All the aboveare imposed by the government.
So it’s ok for a poor person to receive welfare? That’s what you’re saying right?
The contemporary media thinks libertarians are people who always complain about intrusions on personal freedom and big government, without any view on economics.
Or maybe they are brothers in an unadvertised secret society like Bush and Kerry are Brothers in the Skulls and Bones
secret society or maybe they are in the same circle holding hands while worshiping the devil. Both Bush And Obama are known to use satanist hand signals/signs/symbols while in public. see here and here
Thanks,

I never said it was ok because they have the choice to become a wage slave
Libertarians in the olden days believed that that the path to a free society was through education first then action. If you think about it it makes perfect sense and that they made the right decision! If they didn’t write books, papers and, newsletters and etc then we wouldn’t have anything to work with or we would have to take the time to write and do it ourselves.
Those damn libertarians are right again!
A word with neo at the beginning gives that word a futuristic meaning or feel to it. The addition of Neo to a word pretty much means something new and something different!
Michael
You sound like a Marxist.
How is that automatically Marxist?
It’s not as appalling as the EU citizens who gave up their rights to the EU! How about you stop criticizing us Americans and start criticizing the Europeans? I mean, after all, there is a EU not a North American Union! You gotta give the Americans some credit, we are putting up a much more and better fight then the Europeans did.
It’s like deciding who is less retarded. Americans IMO have not too much to be proud about on the liberty front. The heavy lifting was done generations ago. Today’s American would be a despicable creature to the Founding Fathers.
Hopefully a such Remnant can emerge & we more or less repeat a similar process the Founding Fathers went through.
However, day to day conversations with others is enough to question how long my sanity will last in our current situation.
Why the hell are you Helping/campaigning for Obama? Why not help Chuck Baldwin/Castle or maybe even Bob Barr or Nader? LOLZ? Are you helping Obama for principle or because of the color of his skin? I would use the term McObama but since he’s mixed I won’t

For someone who is not a racist, you seem pretty concerned with race.
Tell me about it. Some Canadians have the unmitigated gall to look me in the eye, and tell me they like the system because they get things they couldn’t buy.
I’m starting to become increasingly disheartened. We’re such a small group, and there are literally thousands for every one of us, who are socialized to believe that they are entitled to things, people who have no understanding principle, rational thought, economics anything.
I mean, I get excited when I turn a person or two, but it feels so pointless when confronted with how not everyone I turn has the same passion for evangelism I do. If we can’t double our numbers every 12 months, then we’re doing something wrong.
Thank YOU Giles! That Marxist remark you made was perfect, because it proves my point even further! Obviously you thought I was posting my beliefs when in fact, I was telling the reader about the system we have now. nice try though!
Oh please! Give me a break! I only made some interesting observations! I said the McObama thing because I’m noticing people using that term all over the place! I’m even sure you have used it! Enough said!
Michael
It had nothing to do with McBama. It’s just that you would accuse someone you don’t know of supporting Obama due to his colour.
That means you’re the one with race on the brain. Maybe slow down a little.
