Is that your rebutle to the author's points about Libertarians? I don't care what "side" he's on. His points about the inconsistancies of Libertarianism are exactly right.

It's hard to argue with someone who comes from the standpoint that it's the government's job to solve "economic injustice", which is merely a code word for "giving the tax dollars of hard-working citizens to worthless, lazy parasites". It's so completely opposite of my ideology there is no common ground to argue from.

Whoa now!!

Many of the author's "points" about Libertarian thought depend entirely on how he chooses to define his terms. His apparent definition of "coercion" being chief among them.

I find that the aurhtor is flagrantly using logical fallacies and selectively defining his terms in order to make a specious argument.

You don't care that the article (to the small extent to which it conveys any comprehensible message at all) is an endorsement of communist philosophy?

No, you are only saying that they are "exactly right" because you hate libertarianism. If I were to rend this essay into the shredded scraps of disassociated illogic which truly compose it (as I could easily do), would you have the mental prowess to rebuild and re-establish this Communists's "exactly right" criticisms? No, of course you wouldn't. You would just stand there drooling, "but libertarianism is bad", committed to your Social Gospel lies of Government Collectivism which are largely responsible for murdering True Christianity in the American Church.

Because Christianity is not truly important to you; Totalitarianism is. And where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

So why should I waste my time?

Personally, I don't think you know what the authors points are. You probably found the longest anti-libertarian article you could find and posted it ... so you can say "What exactly about his points ...".
