Though I am of the school of reduced government and less intrusion into the lives of citizens, I am not a libertarian. I think of these guys as being part of the lunatic fringe. I believe that the government has the responsibility to regulate our financial system and businesses in an effort to reduce systemic risk and exploitation of the citizens.

These kinds of articles are part of the reason I would never consider becoming a member of the libertarian party:

I do have blue eyes, but the rest of me is pretty chalky.

Best of luck, and God bless,
