Summary: They mostly come from publicly supported institutions

References:



Does anyone else find it tremendously ironic that the two biggest libertarian
flamers on this list, JoSH, and Rick McGeer, both spout their tirades from
PUBLICLY SUPPORTED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

Not only that, but virtually every libertarian on this net works at either
a publicly supported college, or an electronics or computer company whose
existence is supported by the Department of Defense.

These people are oh so eloquent in their defense of the mythical free market, 
demeaning humanitarian welfare programs as wasteful, destructive, and downright
evil.  At the same time, they seem to have absolutely no qualms about taking
their own form of welfare, the welfare for the elites in this country that
comes in the form of wasteful defense contracts, unrestricted research grants,
and the like.

Half of all engineers in this country are deployed directly or
indirectly by the DOD.  So many are Libertarians, or at least
fiscal conservatives.  What a joke!!
