The folks that I know are libertarians first and Christians second. They still expect “the government” or “the rich” meaning someone other than themselves, to take care of the needy.

Now THAT is an outright LIE. Someone who is against government as much as libertarians are would no more call for government “welfare” than Stalin would have allowed free-market capitalism in Russia. You’ve been around here long enough to KNOW that. It may not get much mention, but charity is to a libertarian, as to a constitutionalist also, a private and PERSONAL thing. For example, I do not give to bums on the streets, nor to the United Way “charities,” as they are a waste of good money on collectivist schemes. I do my own work through my church, with veterans. Oh, and I tithe and give as well.
