While I'm much more of a Conservative than a Libertarian I do exalt the rights AND responsibilities of the Individual. As such, I find this writer's thesis Hogwash.

Bingo. It is all about the mix. Look at how the founders granted the federal government explicit powers and protected individuals with rights. The authors argument (if it can be called such) is in fact a strawman.

I'm to weak to call it Hogwash. Therefore, instead of becoming too libertarian, I've decided to become a limp wristed, big government, globalist, talk-big-no-action, CFR loving, conservative Republican. Now I feel better.
Actually, the BillO'Rights is the libertarian part of the republican form of government embodied in the Constitution. But we all know this by now, don't we?
