"The claims of Libertarians to be the heroic, lone defenders of the Constitution is both Quixotic, and idiotic"
I don't know that L's pretend to be "lone defenders" of the Constitution, but they are undeniably defenders. Now, I am not a Libertarian, but a Conservative with libertarian leanings. I just looked at the L website though, and it is headed by "Smaller Government, Lower taxes, more freedom." Sounds just like the Gipper to me!

What you don't see on the Libertarian site is the "more Pot smoking, more abortions, more "unrestricted" (NOT free) trade..." etc.
