[Roscoe]

"Conservatives believe that (limited) constitutional government is essential "to secure these rights"— to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Libertarians repudiate this insight of the Founding Fathers."

Well said.

"Well said." Lies roscoe, in another idiotic attempt to smear libertarianism with an obviously false conclusion. You are refuted by Hayek:

--- "the notion of a higher law above municipal codes, with which Whiggism [libertarianism] began, is the supreme achievement of Englishmen and their bequest to the nation"[17] - and, we may add, to the world. It is the doctrine which is at the basis of the common tradition of the Anglo-Saxon countries. ---- It is the doctrine on which the American system of government is based."

Roscoe, -- THAT is well said. -- Can you dispute Hayek as an authority?
