Entry: Andy's List Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/andys_list#2746 Post contents: Sorry to go off-topic, but the previous comment mentioned Dennis Prager, and referred to him as a socialist. I have no argument with this, but rather, a curiosity. This is the most recent example I've seen of a guest who has appeared with notorious atheists and libertarians Penn & Teller on their show Bullshit (which I LOVE) being referred to as a socialist. My curiosity is about why libertarians would use socialists to support their principles, though I presume they may have been chosen for their atheistic beliefs, and the devotion to reason (rather than faith) that such a belief implies. If I am right about that, then why would a socialist appear on a libertarian's show, lending support to a libertarian cause, when socialism is defined by central authority? Perhaps even socialists can see that what we have going in government now, still fails to meet the dreams and desires of outspoken socialist human beings, who welcome a libertarian government, which would at least allow them the freedom to pursue their own brand of socialism in their own life choices.
