re: #240 Lazarus

Dead wrong. Libertarians have no consistent belief in freedom or in the nature of man’s rights. They are an immoral, hopeless soup of vague references to liberty and more anti-government than pro-freedom. That fact that I might agree with a Marxist that the earth goes around the sun does not make me a Marxist.

Yes they do and no they are not anti-government. They believe that the only rights which exist are negative rights which are immutable and absolute. The only purpose of government is to protect those rights from aggression and force used to suppress them. Often they take this philosophy to insane and unworkable illogical extremes that are borderline on anarcho-capitalism. Much of what you have posted here this afternoon is as if you have been reading it straight out of this playbook.
