Those Horrible Libertarians

Those libertarians are so terrible that they don’t even want to renew the Patriot Act. Politico:

Extending the Bush-era surveillance law has not been a slam dunk for House GOP leaders this year. In fact, Republicans were unable to muster enough votes to fast-track the bill through the House earlier this year because of objections from lawmakers ranging from libertarian-minded conservatives to liberal Democrats. When a 90-day extension passed earlier this year, Republicans needed Democrats to carry it across the finish line.

Republicans and Democrats, working together in order to curtail the rights of Americans. Conspicuously, it’s the only time they do work together. Everything else is mere posturing. That they are substantively no different should be of no surprise to anyone. Yet everyone claims that it’s the libertarians who would ruin our country.
