Well said. They definitely are defensive and love to get the last word in. They seem to be out of touch with the reality of how to really make any changes. "Either remove the whole tax code or just forget it". I've also noticed an alarming number of them are mensas. This shows that they are extreme elitists and simply don't want to be involved in a normal party because they can't stand out in a crowd well enough that way.

Sounds like jealousy and insecurity talking!

It is valid to point out that Democrats tend to be uneducated, ignorant, and underemployed vs Republicans, but it is invalid to point out that libertarians are more likely to be mensans than are Republicans or Demorats?

Just the opposite. Mensans are much more likely to stand out in a general crowd than in one of their peers. And it shouldn't take a mensan to understand that.

Elitism is most abhorred by those who can't get inside.
