Where is the lie?

>>>On the contrary, the core libertarian philosophy is no offensive use of force or fraud, or stated differently, the Golden Rule. It is a moral absolute.

Your BIG mistake here mam, is that you apparently think the 'golden rule' is "holy scripture". It ain't.
It's origins are far older, way beyond Judeo-Christian scripture. Nearly every culture ever studied has a version of the golden rule in its written or oral philosophy. -- Granted, - most ignore it, as you do.
Libertarians do not ignore it, they see 'do no offense unto others, lest they do worse unto you' as a moral absolute.

You challenge that statement? Prove your point.
You haven't yet, despite all your usual BS bluster.

Knock yourself out, little boy.
