Libertarians are strangely schizophrenic:
One minute they are the cause of Republican losses, the next they are irrelevant. One minute they are leftists and communists, the next they are free market Darwinists. They are Passifists who defend the Second Amendment and druggies who frequently condemn drug abuse. They are church-going Christian atheists who believe that Jesus might ahve been the ultimate libertarin.
This is from guys who prefer the drug prohibition status quo that prevents addicts from getting treatment, that preserves government and law enforcement corruption, that advocates policies that ensure obscene profits and violence in illegal drug trafficing.
These are the same who insist that voting for the lesser of evils is somehow not voting for evil.
These are the ones that rely on falsehoods, inneundo, and smears to deal with political/philisophical opponents.
Yep, libertarians who believe in the maximum amount of freedom for the maximum amount of the people are the wierd ones.
In the same way those people wishing to pay less taxes are the selfish ones (instead of those who wish to seize tax money for themselves). The people you mentioned in your earlier may call themselves conservative, but they sure seem to share the same illogic as many liberals.
