Speaking before Iowa’s anti-gay group Family Leader, Rep. Ron Paul said that “states have have a right” to establish same-sex marriage. That prompted a Paul aide to rush forward to remind the libertarian whackadoodle that he actually supported the ouster of Iowa’s Supreme Court justices. Last week he also condemned Obama’s decision on DOMA.

This list is mostly notable to us for the presence of whackadoodle billionaire Peter Thiel, the GOProud money man who hosted Ann Coulter in his NYC home for their Homocon 2010 fundraiser. Thiel wants to create floating oceanic city-states which are exempt to annoying trifles like taxes and international banking rules. A libertarian’s paradise! At sea! Forever! (Source)

Fox News commentator Andrew Napolitano says the president is “doing the taxpayers a favor” because DOMA is doomed on constitutional grounds anyway.

Whackadoodle libertarian Ron Paul, whose supporters swarm CPAC every year, has unsurprisingly won the convention’s 2012 presidential straw poll for the second year in a row. However not to be dismissed in Paul’s win is the effect of the absence of the several major conservative groups who boycotted this year over GOProud. Sarah Palin only got 3%.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the nutty libertarian tree. Rand Paul think that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 should be amended to allow businesses the right to deny service to anybody they please. Rachel Maddow takes him down in classic fashion.

The Competitive Enterprise Institute, a libertarian “think tank” has created this clip in protest of the horrible government regulation of everything in our lives. Things like traffic! And product safety! And consumer protection! Nightmare!

You’ll have to embiggen for the captions.

Some outfit called the Tenth Amendment Center used the occasion of Constitution Day yesterday to urge Americans to encourage their states to “opt-out of the shackles of the federal government.” They demand that candidates in the 2010 election sign on to their “10-4 pledge to return sovereignty to the states.” The last line of this clip: “The federal government is …
