Essentially, libertarians believe that each person “owns” his own life and property

Libertarians are clueless about the nature of property.

"By an universal law, indeed, whatever, whether fixed or movable, belongs to all men equally and in common, is the property for the moment of him who occupies it; but when he relinquishes the occupation, the property goes with it. Stable ownership is the gift of social law, and is given late in the progress of society." --Thomas Jefferson

Yet another reason I have never been much of a Jefferson fan.

Using a communitarian argument in the name of conservatism over libertarianism. Just wow!

Please pardon my slow mind, but I'm not really sure what you're driving at here. How does Jefferson's quote contradict the idea that I own my own life?
