Libertarian is short for asshole (or long for asshole, whichever)

I've added libertarians to my list of idiotic political parties. Why you ask? If you've been keeping up with my blog, you've noticed that some of my economic views actually coincide with libertarian ideology. But for COMPLETELY different reasons. Libertarian to me is synonymous with greedy and selfish.

That's the official party website, but I'd like to argue one of the points on it's front page, to illuminate some of it's TRUE meanings.

If you look into the article further there's some pretty apparent bias such as employee's "refusing" to learn English. Whatever. But here's the fundamentals of the argument that I do not agree with

1) Companies SHOULD NOT be allowed to hire and fire whenever they please. example? Big boss goes up to a women and puts his hands down her pants. He knows this women is a single mom supporting three kids, and when she refuses and threatens to file complaints against him, he threatens to fire her.
Another example, "What? You're skin isn't white?? Damn, I can't hire you. I don't care if you have amazing qualifications, or even mediocre qualifications that still outrank everyone else i've hired. I still ain't hiring you." Note they can also hire people for being too fat, too ugly, too old, too nice, too mean (I don't know if that's a bad thing) too not american, too outspoken, too sick, too pregnant, too womanly, too manly, etc.
A factory job doesn't require someone to know english . . . neither does a goodwill job for that matter.

2) This argument is also assuming that American's shouldn't have to know another language.

Americans are "at the bottom" of the world in terms of knowing foreign languages, according to Bret Lovejoy, executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.

"There's an old joke: If you speak three languages you're tri-lingual. Speaking two languages makes you bi-lingual. But if you speak only one language, then you're an American," Lovejoy said.

And they call us the Melting Pot. Melting Pot my ass. More like salad. There's no blending, assimilating. It's be american or forget it.
May I just say WE ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

And according to an international poll, other countries believe we're certainly to stupidest. That's depressing.
Maybe if we were able to at least great them with something other than "How you doin. Ain't no reason we should talk about our 12 billion dollar short term debt to you, rather, let's have us some chocolate and beef"

As much as I complain about this country, I love being American. I love the IDEA of being American. But that idea has now become an international joke. We are now the blondes of this world.

Because of people with ideologies parallel to the libertarian ideals.
We should all be American speaking, gun totting buisness owning, non tax paying, immigrant killin upstanding individualist citizens. (which seems counterintuitive. How can you be a good citizen AND in individualist?)
