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.

Bad idea's according to parsy's link:

* 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.
