>> Libertarians have never come to terms with the clear unblinking reality that liberty must be ordered by an overseeing agent

Most of the critics of libertarianism here are in the first quad. Leftists are in the second. The fools belonging to the Libertarian Party are in the third. The cool, Pro-Life, Pro-Marriage, Child-Safety, Pro-Gun, Liberty-loving folks are in the 4th.
