...and I thought Rachel Maddow was a self-important, look down her nose, arrogant "Let me explain life to you little person" liberal.
Wow...you really give her a run for her money.
I nominate you and Paul Krugman to lead the U.S. Olympic Liberal Arrogance Teamâ„¢
For the 4th time: Rather than registering your offense, why don't you show me a society built on these minarchist principles that has prospered? What are we on now, page 13? Still not a single example. Why do you think it is that you folks can't produce one solitary example?
Precisely. As we look through history at most of the continents, we will see that centralized states accounted for the greatest civilizations in human history.

Geez, your bizarre question has been answered THREE times in this thread already.
Please go over each post before begging for an answer...AGAIN.
You reallly don't understand libertarianism, do you?
Show me where in the Constitution there is a line that says this: "Constitutional functions of the federal government are to be paid for through taxation." That is what you just claimed. I'd like to know the article, section and clause where it states that without you again trying to dodge the question. Where does it say that in the Constitution?

Maybe because none of us are minarchists. Even a dimwit should be able to figure that out. Now why don't you go to a thread on minarchism?

An authentic libertarian believes in the either the minarchist state or anarcho-capitalism. This is the point that I was trying to insert into your brain from the outset. Alas, that is too tough a nut to crack. What we instead have are conservatives who wish to be cool for once in their lives and claim the title of "libertarian." They latch on to a couple libertarian positions and claim the title. A quick perusal of the platform of the Libertarian Party reveals it to be a minarchist vision of government. Every Libertarian presidential candidate during my lifetime has carried a minarchist vision of government. Every libertarian journal contains the writings of eithe minarchist or anarcho-capitalist writers. What we have here with self-professed "libertarians," are slightly hipper readers of The Weekly Standard.
Why I am working this hard to defend libertarians from window-dressers? I don't even like libertarianism.
I asked for the article, section and clause in the Consitution. That should take about 30 seconds to find and paste on this forum.
Geez, then do it yourself then and stop spraying your superiorness all over everybody in this thread...gosh!!
