re:The prosperity and security we now enjoy were made possible by the constitutional liberties of our free republic, -- not by the constraints of majority rule advocated by the socialists among us.))

A piece of paper doesn't do the fighting, the envelop-stuffing, the door-knocking, the fund-raising. People do. And it's almost always the Joe Sixpacks and the social conservatives who do this. The Libertarians I joined briefly didn't like doing that--they got the icky-poo shudders at the prospect of rubbing elbows with a Baptist.

But they're willing to take phony-baloney thinktank jobs at CATO and express all kind of distaste at just how not perfect things are. And, of course, like Boortz--express his everlastingly noble intention of making everybody lose on principle.

Without the people who are willing to do work of politics --hey, sometimes that includes making a compromise or two with somebody else!!--who makie the constitution LIVE.

Libertarians are the CHICKENHAWKS of conservative politics, the spoilers, and the spoiled brats.

Who's the spoiled brat? Who's whining about how the people you claim to be poltically impotent are also responsible for the recent Republican losses? Well, what is it, Mammy? We can't "not matter" and "make all the difference" at the same time?

Do you even know what compromise means? I'm sure you believe it means people giving you what *you* want without any return consideration. Spoiled brat indeed. All of the spoiled brats I've encountered demand that everything go their way, and when they don't, they throw themselves on the ground in a tizzy, screaming about how it's all everyone else's fault but their own.

I'd write more, but I'm choking on the hypocrisy of your post.

Mis-characterizing libertarians as "parasites" who live off the prosperity and security made possible by those who term themselves
"law-abiding social conservatives --" is socialist type pejorative rhetoric.


The prosperity and security we now enjoy were made possible by the constitutional liberties of our free republic, -- not by the constraints of majority rule advocated by the socialists among us.
