Destroying For The Greater Good

Destroying For The Greater Good

Mark Kleiman wonders why Glenn Reynolds hates America. The answer is that he doesn’t. He hates liberals. And if the American economy has to be destroyed in order to destroy liberals, that’s just the price America will have to pay.

And then we can reconstitute ourselves into a nation of gun-toting, libertarian Supermen (and the parasites who serve them) just as God and Rand intended.

One can’t help but wonder, however, why these defenders of individual liberty are always so worked about money and property rights, but never seem to get up any energy to fight things like this, even in Goldwater country:

State lawmakers are moving to make couples who have decided their marriage isn’t working wait four months longer to divorce.

And those with children would first have to go through education programs telling them about alternatives to divorce and the resources available to improve or strengthen their marriage.

Rep. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix, the sponsor of HB 2650, said she believes that requiring couples to wait 180 days will result in more people deciding they actually should stay together. As proof, she said the divorce rate is lower in states with longer waiting periods than it is in Arizona where a marriage can be ended in as few as 60 days.

I suspect that the only thing that would make these freedom fighters give a damn would be if someone proposed to tax couples who want to divorce or require that they register their firearms in order to gain a decree. Then you’d see some patriotic defenses of liberty. Otherwise, the parasites are on their own.
