WTF libertarian

I found this gem while tracking blog responses to the change.org announcement, where the DREAM Act is part of the IDEAS for CHANGE in AMERICA. In this case, a young blogger gives us the libertarian analysis of the top 10 ideas, and starts off by not reading the DREAM Act at all:
* Pass the DREAM Act - Support Higher Education for All Students Dream
- Ok this is a Democratic Party staple, the ol' "Please Mr. President, either print some more money or take some away from those nasty rich people and give it to me for my kid's college". Definitely not a Libertarian idea, and unless you feel it is fair to force other people to pay your college bills, it is not yours either.
I usually like libertarians, except when they go off on their objectivist slants. I feel that if you are really going to be that anti-government, though, you should start off by aggressively supporting open immigration policies. My own rant done here. Either way, I left an inquiry and will check later.
