John Stossel says things I like. He says other things I disagree with. I've always been a conservative, not a libertarian. I believe in the sanctity of family, in national security and in patriotism. Libertarians seem to have no problem with a laissez de affaire approach when it comes to issues of cultural formation, security and nationhood. I believe we need government sets the ground rules that allow the family and the country to flourish at their best and protects them from threats to their existence. I would like that we could get along without government at all but in the real world that is just not possible. Not when we're at at war with an enemy determined to destroy us.

I am just surprised that the liberal TV still has him in their employ. Probably because there would be so much outrage if they got rid of him.

I'm a libertarian, and I believe in those things too. So much for that attempt to mislead people.

Libertarians do not argue against the existence of government. Have any other straw men you'd like to beat?
