Libertarians are parasites who live thanklessly off the prosperity and security made possible by law-abiding social conservatives.

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.

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.
