3. Every time my husband engages in an online debate with a "liberatarian" it ends up in a threat
of violence from the libertarian. Usually this occurs when the libertarian is asked for facts to back up his statements.

It's really stupid to threaten to kick someone's ass when you've never seen the person in real life. But then again, I don't expect much more from people who subscribe to the philosophy of Any Rand and her ilk.

4. Really. Some of my best friends are Libertarians...
Whenever I need help with Linux, they're glad for the work. Then they beat me up.

7. Have you noticed that
the Tea Party was started by Ron Paul Supports and the most rowdy teabaggers call themselves Libertarians? Do not be fooled, Ron Paul Libertarians are teagenerates.

12. You think the level of political discourse can get worse?!?
Well, I suppose it can. You should never assume "things can only get better"...

I expect if it gets much worse we'll have some poster saying, "I killed my Republican neighbor's pit bull yesterday because he had a Palin poster in his yard. Was I wrong?"

And lots of reccs and "well, he was a Republican pit bull wasn't he? Republicans are violent..."

15. strife in human history has been started over far, far less...
And the now-not-so-latent hostility between people seems nearing some sort of threshold. That's never a good thing.

10. Can you cite one libertarian who isn't a hypocrite? Just one?
Not one libertarian lives by what they preach, not one. Yes, you can make blanket statements about them as I have just done. And what I said is 100% correct and factual.

18. Et tu Diogenes?
'Community barrel'. LOL, the damned hypocrite!

BTW, Diogenes would have an even harder time now trying to find an honest man.

9. Libertarianism = Radical Deranged Cult
Every one, 100%, all libertarians are hypocrites, every last one of them. There isn't one honest or sane libertarian in our country. From birth to death libertarians are frauds, hypocrites and liars. They are a cult with not one cell in their brains based in reality.

14. Why is it....
that 95% of the time when you see a car on the highway covered with libertarian "Don't Tax Me" type bumper stickers it's a rusted out old beater that looks to be worth all of $200 bucks? You would think overtaxed millionaire libertarians would drive better cars.
