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.

Libertarians believe, inconsistently, that the U.S. is to blame for Muslim aggression because we have military bases overseas and we “meddle” in their affairs. They believe that abortion should be left up to the states. They believe that anyone should be able to buy and sell drugs, and that adults should be free to have sex with minors. They are dead wrong on all counts, and the list is endless where I disagree with them. I take man’s rights seriously, they don’t.
