Why would a pro wrestler get so fanboy about someone whose claim to fame is turning girls (okay, princesses) into swans that he enters politics for him? More to the point, why is this a matter of importance to libertarians (it must be, or the OP wouldn’t have been likely to have submitted an OP about it)? Is it because libertarians don’t like princesses? ---

Is it because libertarians don’t like princesses? Apologies if these questions have already been addressed. I’ve skimmed the thread, and it strikes me as a little dense for my attention span. ---

Turning princesses into swans? I’m lost. ---

That’s a deeper cut than it used to be. Back in my day. When people of culture studied the classics and attended the ballet. When women and minorities knew their place and kids stayed off my lawn. Yanno, how they do things in Knox County. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rothbardian-pro-wrestler-wins-election/819055.md?page=7)
