remember, Libertarians espouse free pot, free booze, free sex, etc

Libertarians don't advocate FREE anything, meaning distributed free of cost. Subsidies of any sort are not in any way compatible with Libertarianism. Letting the market decide without government interference is.

We advocate letting people freely make their own choices, and letting them sink or swim.

Reagan knew this, when he said that libertarianism was the heart of conservatism.

libertarianism was the heart of conservatism.

And so is common sense...I voted libertarian on Tuesday BUT there was no Republican running against the RAT.

How many libertarians are better off when they fail to cast a vote for the conservative candidate and the liberal wins?

We will NEVER get to a Libertarian society without FIRST passing through a Conservative one. So you are either on the path TORWARDS the society you seek, or YOU ARE NOT.

If that's the case, then the heart needs a bypass.

You are right. The thought I had intended to express was "free" in the sense of "freely available." Clearly that one got lost in translation. My bad.

Man, though, you libertarians are a prickly bunch. I better duck my head when I drive past the Cato Institute tonight.

I have never tried the pot. I've paid for all the booze and sex I've ever had (and am still paying even though the sex has tapered off quite a bit).
