re: #95 Belafon

Just a thought: Someone should point out to @jack that it’s not very libertarian to treat elected officials as being above private citizens. It should be more likely that government people get banned for statements than the population at large.

You’re quite right.

It is, however, extraordinarily elitist to treat one class of citizens (elected officials) as essentially beyond consequences. It elevates that group above reproach.

Sounds more like aristocracy if you ask me. And that’s not libertarian.

Of course, perhaps the new-fangled definition of “libertarian” is more akin to feudalism than anything else. Which wouldn’t surprise me one iota.
