Life is an unalienable right of the people that should be protected by the government. Not just from other people, but from hurricanes, fires, pollution and, yes, illness. And the people who advocate this radical notion that the children of those who don't have enough money to pay taxes don't deserve the necessities of life and liberty are no better than a billionaire who advocates a mandatory two-hundred thousand dollar flat tax for benefiting from any government service.

how might a government protect people from bad weather?

Government doesn't need to protect us from everything.

They only protect us from foreign enemies and people trying to infringe on our rights.

Mainstream libertarian? You are a left wing extremist, aka democrat.

And it is there is a police force you know..

There is a fire/emergency department

NO

NO

Liberty does not equal public education. It does not equal welfare. It does not mean any form of government intervention!

Exactly you don't want liberty only to punish those who did better than you. Your a leftist stop kidding yourself.

ROFLMNAO...

Here we see a leftist trying to adhere to a new label to ruin.

SO yeah... WAKE UP LIBERTARIANS!

The left is coming to steal your banner, so they can avoid flying the ones they've already ruined, which when they're flown tend to warn the culture n which their advancing to the calamity that is their shadow.

ROFL... Leftists...

thanks for that laugh. coming from an unknowledgeable, unthinking, kool aid quaffing neocon, you only confirm that you haven't any idea of what you preach. Barry Goldwater, were he with us today, would clearly be a main-stream Libertarian. compare what he advocated in his day with what Libertarians espouse today. it is the (supposedly conservative) republican party which is now but a faint shadow of its former self
