Libertarians are political juveniles and theoretical hacks whose idealized universe is neither realistic or viable. Since Libertarians seldom if ever exercise political power and thus have to make the hard choices and real world compromises, they can freely bitch and moan about how they would never do such things in an environment of make-believe armchair philosophizing.

No. Libertarians recognize the futility of one sized fits all government solutions, which inevitably get enforced at the end of a Gun. Even the noble republican finds to the delight of our Marxists friends that the ends justify the means. Libertarians recognize the “real solutions” provided by the politicos “real world compromises” are not only pathetically ineffective, but also tend to be corrupted for the benefit of the politically connected classes at the expense of everyone else. And since they recognize the sheer stupidity of one-sized-fits-all solutions, they prefer the least of all evils –which is where each person can determine his or her own ultimate ends on a consensual basis, not by the prerogatives of some indifferent bureaucrat or self-serving politician pandering to save his political hide. Things are only as unrealistic as you believe them to be. Go on back and lick your master’s hand so that he won’t yank your leash too hard and remind you who’s in charge.

The only thing juvenile going on here is a blind reliance on an idealized utopian belief that ever-growing governments wont trample the rights of citizens. (these chains are for our own good…) As for theoretical hacks, 99% of government programs are theoretical solutions that provide near total failure when measured against their own stated objectives.

And for some reason political viability and actual measurable effectiveness seem to be systematically disconnected in politics and government, hence don’t hold that up as some morally superior measure of libertarianism as and ideology. If anything, such unaccountability totally discredits the system you defend, as no sane person would dare put their own money in to 90% of the government garbage if they were freely given a choice.

Wake up from the matrix. Its there to see if you’re looking.
