As far as plagiarism is concerned, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but the "with the teeth pulled out" phrase gives me pause. Is Libertarianism not based in reason? What are its premises? According to Leonard Peikoff (her "intellectual heir" which smacks to me of demagoguery), Libertarians find Rand too "dogmatic" and that they have an "anything goes" mentality, as long as no one violates the rights of others. This sounds like anarchy and does ''not'' sound like the party described in the website. Given that these articles were written no later than the 1980s, it's possible the party has evolved significantly since then; the radical anti-Americanism of the 1970s is definitely absent now. | As far as plagiarism is concerned, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but the "with the teeth pulled out" phrase gives me pause.
