Okay, then explain your goal for the role of our government. What are you fighting for?Most things in life exist on a continuum. I really want to believe that you understand that.The danger when you go after a philosophy as pure as libertarianism - and let's face it, that's what this is - is that it becomes a zero-sum battle. All or nothing. Win or lose. Seems to me it would be far smarter to move in a desired direction incrementally, proving yourself along the way, winning long-term converts.That's the best thing that happened to America. The worst thing is that they didn't go through with it, but in fact did the exact opposite.My guess is that the turn happened when some took Reagan's "...government is the problem..." as gospel.
When it becomes a zero-sum battle like this, we get what we're seeing, wild swings back and forth that create little of substance.
.
And why would it become a zero sum game?
I guess your idea is just to stand-by as the government butt rapes us then... what a great plan!
I wonder, does this non-pure philosophy of yours apply to other things also. Maybe we should increase the amount of murders we have, I think there is a danger that we might have a zero sum game otherwise. We need a moderate amount of rapes and murders, yes!
If you really think you're going to "win" and move this country to pure libertarianism, great.

Nice observation. But some things in life, do not exist in a continuum. Heck, the computer you are typing into right now is basically encoded into 0s and 1s, binary, discrete.
I don't know where you got that I am a libertarian, in fact, that bunch is completely incapable of winning anything. They have even less clue than the conservatives. Thinking that people respond to complicated arguments is maddening stupidity. They won't win a thing, ever, that I can tell with 100% binary accuracy.
