Sometimes Michael Badnarik; a person (always male) who approaches people at parties to discuss Ayn Rand and talk about how he will be very rich in the near future.

Badnariks tend to form in adolescence, and generally grow into Republicans in adulthood. If you see a Barnarik above the age of 19, DO NOT APPROACH. He will, if cornered, spout over-simplifications and pithy-but-meaningless rhetoric.

Badnariks tend to be members of the comfortable middle-class created by post-WWII expansion of government and progressive tax policy.
"Dude, Pete's all right, but his roommate's totally a Barnarik -- when he found out I've never read 'The Fountainhead', I had to get the hell out of there.

Libertarian who ran for presidency; he got arrested when trying to enter the presidential debates.
I voted for him instead of being another sheep voting for bush or kerry. Most people I know yelled at me, to which I said "fuck you, I am my own person, and if I don't think that either bush or kerry were worth voting for, then fuck 'em".
