This asshat is the reason I cut ALL ties with libertarianism. He is proof that libertarianism flirts far too closely with moonbattery liberalism.

Ron Paul's recent comments are indefensible, but why would they occasion the abandonment of a political philosophy? If some republican says something stupid should we all abandon conservatism? When the Westboro Baptists say something stupid should we all abandon Christianity? Sorry, but that really doesn't seem to make much sense to me. Libertarian ideals of laissez-faire economics and the pursuit of limited government which exists to protect the rights of the governed don't cease to be philosophically sound simply because somebody tweeted something stupid.

I hear your point. I will cogitate on it.
