As you well know, classical liberalism is not the same thing as objectivism, from whence comes the 'force or fraud' slogan.

Again, unfortunate reductionism, imo.

'Reasonableness is a messy concept', perhaps; but not so messy as to include the egregious perversion of the Commerce clause to control household activities.

Lines can be drawn, in places. ;^)

On what bases other than force or fraud does classical liberalism approve of government action?
