Peter Thiel is a darling of the media for the moment and was even featured last evening on "60 Minutes". But the segment focused on his plan to encourage students to drop out of college and there wasn't much on Thiel's extreme libertarian views.

Thiel was a huge supporter of Ron Paul - donating $millions to his campaign. But basically he is indifferent to Paul's success or lack thereof. He has nothing but contempt for politics in general, and the democratic process in particular.
