Like a pig opposed to the trough

According to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me (where all right thinking Americans get their news)," after (not) testifying before Congress, he took his nameplate when he left.

It's not surprising then that this Libertarian is opposed to "government sloth."

Working with another former Seal, Al Clark, Mr. Prince sought to create a world-class training facility that could be used by American military and law enforcement personnel. They built their facility in 1997 on a rural site in North Carolina, just south of the Virginia border near Norfolk, which is home to a major Navy base and other military posts. But it was only after the Sept. 11 attacks that Blackwater began to emerge as a major security contractor in war zones.

Mr. Pelton said it would be wrong to assume that Mr. Prince’s political connections account for his success. “It is a mistake to characterize him as his father, or by the right-wing groups his father supported,” Mr. Pelton said. “Politically, I think he is more of a libertarian. He hates government sloth, even as his company gets most of its business from the government.”

Of course he does.

UPDATED to fix some linkage.
