The
Libertarian Girl blog was authored by the girl you see in the thumbnail to the right. Or so it seemed. A lot of people were suspicious. And it turned out that their suspicions were correct.
Catallarchy.net discovered that the picture of the girl had been lifted from a
russian mail-order bride site. The real author of Libertarian Girl was quick to confess to being a fake, though he's still not revealing his true identity. But he has
posted his thoughts about what it was like being a faux-girl blogger:
One thing I learned from this blog is how easy attractive woman have it. When I had a blog as my real self, no one linked to me, no one left any comments, it was as if the blog existed in a vacuum. But things were different for Libertarian Girl. Every day I'd check Technorati and discover new unsolicited links. It was like I had warped into an alternate universe where all the rules had changed. At the rate things were happening, this would have been an A-list blog in a few more months.

To be honest, from what he wrote, he doesn't sound that nice. Or is it all tongue in cheek and I'm not getting it?
"This effect no doubt carries over into the real world. Whenever I see an attractive woman with a successful career, I
I took that quiz and it called me a liberal, which I think is wrong. I think the test has more to do with the test writers idea of what constitutes "liberal" and "conservative" than reality.
For example, the question about cutting taxes and government spending by 50% is pretty preposterous. Cutting government spending by that much would make a train wreck of our economy if it were done in a short period. Since the question makes no mention of the time to implement this, the answer is a meaningless measure.
The "corporate welfare" question is also a bit loaded. What constitutes "welfare"? A defense contract? A government granted monoply (as utilities are operated)?
It's an interesting test, but more for entertainment value than anything else.
:shut:
Libertarians are both conservative and right-wing.
You're wrong.
How's that for short and simple?
So to prove that Libertarians aren't conservative, you want me to go take a test so they can lie to me in order to gain a political advantage by exploiting me.
They lie, they manipulate, they exploit, they conceal their true motives and beliefs--Libertarians sound like textbook conservatives to me.
I faked my death back in 1963 and went underground. Now I'm 136 years old, and loving every minute of it.
looking at this guys comments he seems to be an angry little man, probably disgruntled that he never gets to with those pretty girls
and how could he confuse an experience online with an experience in the real world
i dont like the gender wars, lets all become hamthrodites and let our differences fade...
