Here’s you a real good link on what’s wrong with libertarians:
http://www.zompist.com/libertos.html
It explains the difference between small gov’t conservatives and libertarians (LICE - Libertarians Infiltrating Conservative Entities)
parsy, who says “get thee behind me, LICE!”
I did and pretty much dispute it as a collection of straw man arguments.
Even Libertarians do not want NO government, just what we have Constitutionally.
And that is just the beginning of the fallacies on that page.
* Reagan's "Government is the problem"
* Phil Gramm's contention that the country's "economic crisis" and "moral crisis" were due to "the explosion of government"
* Talk radio hosts' advocacy of armed resistance to "jack-booted government thugs"
* Dole's 1996 campaign, advancing the notion that
taxes were "Your Money" being taken from you
* Gingrich's Contract with America (welfare cuts, tax cuts, limitations on corporations' responsibility and on the government's ability to regulate them)
* Dick Armey's comment that Medicare (medical aid for the elderly) is "a program I would have no part of in a free world"
* Bush's tax cuts, intended not only to reward the rich but to "starve the beast", in Grover Norquist's words: to create a permanent deficit as a dangerous ploy to reduce social spending
* Jeb Bush's hope that the Florida state government buildings would one day be empty
* Intellectual support for attacks on the quality of working life in this county and for undoing the New Deal
Seem like good positions to me.
