Democrat-Boycotting Libertarian Eric Dondero on Whether He Would Let a Democrat Drown

http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/11/eric-dondero-boycott-democrat-libertarian.html


Republicans around the country are responding to President Obama's reelection in a variety of ways — among them: anger, depression, finger-pointing. But nobody had the same reaction as Eric Dondero, a former Ron Paul aide who blogs at LibertarianRepublican.net. In a post yesterday, Dondero, reasoning that the only recourse to Obama's victory is "outright revolt," laid out the terms of the "personal boycott" against Democrats which he plans to maintain for the rest of his life and which he hopes his followers will as well. What does the boycott entail? Cutting all ties with Democratic family members, friends, and lovers; refusing to work for a Democratic boss; spitting on the ground when a Democrat talks to you; and possibly shitting on your Democratic neighbor's lawn, among other things:


All family and friends, even close family and friends, who I know to be Democrats are hereby dead to me. I vow never to speak to them again for the rest of my life, or have any communications with them. They are in short, the enemies of liberty. They deserve nothing less than hatred and utter contempt.
I strongly urge all other libertarians to do the same. Are you married to someone who voted for Obama, have a girlfriend who voted 'O'. Divorce them. Break up with them without haste. Vow not to attend family functions, Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas for example, if there will be any family members in attendance who are Democrats.
Do you work for someone who voted for Obama? Quit your job. Co-workers who voted for Obama. Simply don't talk to them in the workplace, unless your boss instructs you too for work-related only purposes. Have clients who voted Democrat? Call them up this morning and tell them to take their business elsewhere.
Have a neighbor who votes for Obama? You could take a crap on their lawn. Then again, probably not a good idea since it would be technically illegal to do this. But you could have your dog take care of business. Not your fault if he just happens to choose that particular spot.



This is hilarious. Thanks for the fertilizer, asshat.

For their own sake, they shouldn't follow this horrible advice.
Besides the family issues (it sounds as if the family would do better without them), doing things that might get you fired or turning away clients...no one can be that stupid.

Stop driving on our roads, using our police officers and fire departments. I'd also turn off your power connection too.

I'd suggest finding a hut out there in the middle of nowhere however more than likely it'll be protected by the government.

He says he supported Ron Paul, a man who opposed the Civil Rights Act, gay rights, and women's right to choose. You can't call yourself a true believer in liberty if you oppose those type of things.
