For half of Freepers, the word “libertarian” goes in eyeballs, the brain stops working.

Wrong, I used to think I was a libertarian and realized that I could never be one because to be a libertarian, you must embrace everything about it, i.e., abortion, open borders, crack heads, anarchy, etc.

The brain is definitely working, it’s just most libertarians are half-assed libertarians.

There is no libertarian who truly believes in freedom who also supports killing babies. It is a non-sequitur.

And anyone who will kill a baby will compromise on ANYTHING they say they believe

[Dr. Sivana]

There are conservatives who are not libertarian, but also don’t want to go in everywhere. Does anyone remember Obama threatening to intervene in Honduras? Thank God he didn’t. Plenty of the hawks were OK with our role in Kosovo and against Serbia, bombing them into submission.

Would Bolton attack Pakistan and N. Korea for their nukes?

[sten]

there’s a significant difference between Libertarian and libertarian

[folkquest]

Conservatism vs. Libertarianism?
Maybe we could change the argument to:
Liberalism vs. Constitutionalism
-I’m on the side of the Constitution.

With good reason.

Libertarians ever go so "by the book," that they are forever stuck working at one remove from actual reality....
