Liberals founded the place with Liberty in mind but do you remember the We The People part, Libertarians replace that with Me The Myself, which is why they can't win.Half of Americans consider themselves moderates, and yet Libertarian candidates rarely win more than single digit support in elections.
That's because the Libertarian message boils down to "You're on your own and I don't give a fuck". It's politics, for teenage boys who think Ayn Rand was a god.
Government not doing it for you means "You're on your own." Liberty is not even conceivable to a liberal. It's all about government.
Actually, libertarians do believe in government. Not being the sharpest knives in the drawer (which is why you say government not doing it for you is leaving you on your own), you don't grasp that. We believe government should be there, but it should be the last choice, not the first. We just say you do it first, then ask your family, friends and community, then charities. Then we'll discuss government. Pretty moderate of us. You say Government first, foremost and always and no government solution means we're screwed. You're the extremist.
They are people who think you are an obsessive control freak, if your children have bedtimes and curfews.
