    Libertarians do care about freedom … their own personal freedom … and it doesn’t matter to them if it costs the freedoms of others

    It’s a selfish mentality where they believe that they should have all the ultimate freedom to do whatever they please, regardless if it hurts, degrades or destroys anyone’s or everyone’s freedoms.

      Most of the self professed ‘libertarians’ that I have met are basically people who think they will be one of the warlords when the fall comes. They are of course sadly mistaken.

        The top three priorities of a true libertarian are I, Me, Mine.

        All of the self-styled “libertarians” I know are simply looking for an excuse to not pay taxes.
