A few random thoughts:

The Island: I’ve yet to meet a Libertarian who would argue that maintaining infrastructure (including public roads) is not a legitimate function of government.

More Libertarian than Thou: I guess the cartoonist doesn’t know there are, in fact, a number of privately or semi-privately operated police forces in the United States. Some school township police forces would meet that standard. And the ones I know of provide protection for everyone in their area of responsibility, not just “the people who can afford it.”

Creepy: Right, and there are no pedo-pervs on the left? I’m thinking there aren’t a lot of Republicans in NAMBLA.

The Missionary: Okay, that one *is* kind of funny. BTW, there’s an Atlas Shrugged movie in the works. Angelina Jolie is supposedly going to play Dagny Taggart.

Funny. Also, how about PROFOUNDLY INEFFECTIVE:

Ronald Paul has sponsored 374 bills since Jan 7, 1997 of which 371 haven't made it out of committee and 1 were successfully enacted.

Don’t forget OCD Randroid Trekkie libertarians, still worried about freedom for consenting adults (40+ years AFTER the sexual revolution).

>>Angelina Jolie is supposedly going to play Dagny Taggart.

Supposedly she is a staunch libertarian or conservative herself. And of course her father, Jon Voight, has been a fierce critic of Obama.

I find that when criticism can be reduced to a comic book, it generally belongs in a comic book.

I think its pretty funny, as with all good humor, there are bits of truth in it as well. I’m more of a South Park libertarian...
