"What do people have against Libertarians?"

Simple... people simply want their preferences backed up by the state and their "monopoly on murder"

I would guess it is because 300M+ Americans would rather be ruled over by a group representing .0001% of the total population rather than making decisions for themselves (i.e. most people are born followers, and have a dismal intellect to match).

Wow, we didn't have income tax for the first 200+ years and yet somehow we managed.

They hopped on the ships in the 1600's to escape from an oppressive government. I thought you were a historian dude?

Most people who have served in the military, such as myself don't worry about healthcare, or much else.

Veterans Benefits

I really don't care what Walker does to this state, as I'll be out of here in another 8 months.

BTW, I don't protest, I back protesters with $$$$ and vote. I also donate to Democratic Party of Wisconsin

Seeing that people who claim to be Libertarians either don't vote or vote Republican, they are basically Republicans ashamed to call themselves Republicans. When the Libertarian party begins to hold seats, then I will take the party more serious.
