You do that, Bagger Vance; but it was your own clan that initially adopted the "Teabagger" moniker.

Actually no, goatfucker. The term was coined by Anderson Cooper of CNN after TEA Party members got into the brief habit of mailing tea bags (as in Boston Tea Party) to representatives as a pun voicing their frustrations with Mr. Bush's bailout. Mr. Cooper, at least, had the decency to retract his sexually offensive pun the next day on AC360.

I will bitch slap any fucking Bagger I meet up with in real life who feels justified in applying the "unAmerican" tag to anyone who doesn't agree with their fucking point of view.

I'll remember that the next time some goatfucker labels TEA Party members as Seditious or un-American. Physician, heal thyself.

The true free market approach in this circumstance is something I totally support: absolutely no caps whatsoever on what BP and other companies must pay to clean up their mess. This is one example where a true free market could potentially due its job: actually paying for damages would have a serious impact on the bottom line of BP and related companies. It'd go a long way toward ensuring other companies don't make these same "mistakes," because it would be understood that such a disaster would likely mean the end of the company. That is how the libertarian free market is supposed to work: you take risks, and you accept the costs if things don't go as planned. I have a very good friend who is a free marketer to the extreme - thinks everything, including air and water, should be privatized. BP should be very happy that his vision isn't reality, because it would be even easier to demand damages from them if that were the case.

This is my view as well, as well as being that of most right-libertarians I'm aware of....oddly enough, the Drs Paul included. They want BP to suffer (as suffer they should) but at the hands of the market and the courts, not the State.
