Libertarianism = (conservatism - bs) + (liberalism - bs) + lunacy.

Einstein said, "Make things as simple as possible but no simpler." Libertarians (at least the few self-appointed elite loudmouths like Virginia Postrel) make a vice out of the virtue of liberty. They oversimplify liberty in the same grossly dumb way some Republicans oversimplify free markets and some Democrats oversimplify social justice.

Proof: Consider the size of the Libertarian Party. QED.

And, in the same vein, consider how much God loves the Red Chinese, having made so many of them.

Yup ... we are pretty damned small as a contemporary political party. But keep in mind, way back in America's beginning, whicj created the Revolution: there were few patriots, as well.

"Proof: Consider the size of the Libertarian Party. "

That is the most illogical statement I have read since reading liberal trash. Size is a matter of being right? Maybe might is right?
