For a political party that's 'practically irrelevant' some folks sure do spend an awful lot of time yakking about how bad they are.

Personally I think that mainstream conservatives are scared sh**less of small 'l' libertarians and that's why they spend so much time trying to tear down a group which is actually an ally.

But you go right ahead there, Missy.

I thought the piece was dead on accurate. Describes a lot of other conservatives as well.

"Personally I think that mainstream conservatives are scared sh**less of small 'l' libertarians "
the reason people(mostly single issue conservatives) are afraid of small l libertarians, is because we should actually be called "Strict Constitutionalists", and the constitution, applied as written, would piss off both liberals and conservatives. If you want to know where you fall, ask yourself, have I ever said "There ought to be a law"?...If you have, then you do not believe in the constitution, and are a form of socialist.....hard test to take, and a harder one to admit to...

In your dreams.

What we recognize is that most libertarians are liberals and anarchists in disguise.

Some government is a necessity for an orderly society.

Most libertarians have revealed themselves to be spoiled, selfish, immature brats. They want total freedom to do as they please, to he!! with the other guy; no restrictions whatsoever and no moral restraint.

Society will collapse under their delusion of what utopia should be, total unrestrained license.

It's not possible. Little as libertarians like to admit it, they DO have an obligation to society in general and to their neighbor to live in a courteous well mannered relationship with them. That is sorely lacking among the vast majority of libertarians, I've had the displeasure of dealing with. They think of no on but themselves and how nobody has the right to tell them what to do, all the while telling others what they have to put up with whether they like it or not.
