Gold: Peter Thiel, billionaire co-founder of PayPal has a Libertarian dream. The Seasteading institute would build small sovereign nations on movable platforms in international waters. There, they will be free to implement what they imagine to be the principles of Libertarian Ayn Rand – obviously none of them has read the book. The People of the Floating Oil Rigs have few rules. No welfare, looser building codes, no minimum wage, and few – if any restrictions on weapons…Yipeee! That’s freedom, floating clusters of 270 people, who can dock with one another to create larger societies – or to raid one another. Forget ‘Atlas Shrugged’ it might be wise to read "Lord of the Flies’ before setting out. A similar British colony formed in 1967 is still in existence, with three people. If their love of guns had rivaled this group, I suspect they would have shot holes in the platform and sunk into oblivion by now.
RJ Adds: "What these looneytarians really want is to drill a hole deep into the Earth, send down the biggest H Bomb ever made, and blow it all up into 6 billion separate little islands we can all live on individually and ruggedly with no TAXES or problematic OTHER PEOPLE." Rack Jite 1993
Silver: Colorado Congressman Doug Lamborn was known as the most conservative member of Congress before his controversial ‘tarbaby’ remark to President Obama made him one of the most racist. Lamborn may now also add ‘most inaccessible member of Congress’ to his resume. His actions aren’t legal, logical, nor do they in any way serve those whom he represents – leading me to assume that for Lamborn, this would be a great job if not for the people.
Bronze: Michele Bachmann’s First ever Rockin’ Elvis’s Happy Grim Reaper Day Celebration wowed ’em on the old campaign trail. Elvis could not be reached for comment – yet.
