Great Post! I really enjoyed it. This is what makes Free Republic so valuable....tons of information.

Oh, by the way, to answer your question: Why is Libertarianism Wrong?

Because it doesn't put Christ in the first place.

The post is an essay on how wonderful communism is, and how horrible libertarians are by contrast.

You either didn't read the post, or you're a communist.

As opposed to all those communist propagandists who are big on Jesus, eh?

Agreed.

But Governments instituted by men never do.

That may be the intention in the beginning, but then corruption enters in.

PS: I mean, look at David..

That's a great example.

God himself picked and guided him.. then, he became corrupt (because no man can handle absolute power.. or anything even close to that) and used his position for his own benefit.

We should always vote for the best.. and try.

It's never going to be an ideal situation though.

Neither do any of our founding documents. I don't think you can find a single reference to Christ in any of them.

Sounds like libertarianism isn't any worse than what we've already got, then.

Of course, Christ never intended that His name be invoked in the process of establishing earthly kingdoms. Libertarian philosophy is a political philosophy dealing with the use of force, not a religious philosophy. However, there is nothing in libertarian philosophy, as I see it, that poses any kind of a necessary conflict with Christian doctrines and principles, and libertarian philosophy would seem to fall right in line with the Golden Rule (which Christ referred to as "the law and the prophets" in Matthew 7:12).
