A feral pig in rural Florida is being hailed as a libertarian hero for its evasion of oppresive agents of the state.
The pig is now a local libertarian hero. Supporters describe the animal as a freedom-loving outlaw with a taste for corn. His Facebook page lists more than 200 fans, like Mary K. Sittman, who asked this week, “Is the pig a symbol of our desire to live free of government controls?”At this point, a lesser man would attempt to draw grandiose conclusions about the freedom pig's connection to politics and the national discourse on the issues.
I will not. Enjoy the article.

Top ten signs your political movement is lacking in leadership:
1. It is rallying behind the heroic, principled actions of a barnyard animal rather than those of a human being.
Right. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Steyn are way better.
No one in their right mind (those three included) would call them Libertarians.
I was taking a shot at conservatives, Hunter.
yea, but the article was talking about Libertarians.
They're not barnyard animals?
Hunter, you're dense.
Jesus, Hunter. I was responding to Tessa! WTF, man.
Dear anonymous, I am commenting on the notable lack of "heroic, principled actions" of conservative/libertarian leadership rather than encouraging people to kowtow to the self-proclaimed voices of the conservative movement.
Freedom Pig doesn't want you to fight.
