There is a legitimate need in an orderly society for some government to maintain freedom or we will have tyranny by individuals. The strongest man on the block will run the neighborhood. We have government to insure that we don’t each one of us have to carry a club to defend ourselves.Just trying to make sense of that string of cliches is tough, but placing them in any context of "libertarianism," as was attempted in the comments of a Washington Independent item from David Weigel on Paultards vs. Non-Paultards in one of the Carolinas (the one that everyone who can leaves for the other one where the Kraut car-makers still offer the occasional non-union job) would send any sensible human mad. We were under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that the strongest man on the block running the neighborhood was the central idea of libertarianism, or as those awful sub-human mutations, the kids today, like to say: It's a feature, not a bug.
Added Extra Bonus: Though none of the typing (We think the root of the problem is ADD.) of these clowns is easily deciphered, there appear to be Paultards on one hand & DefenseContractortards of a (perhaps pseudo) libertarian variety on the other hand. No remarks from anyone in the even-remotely-connected-to-consensus-reality-tard community.
Also: We may have typed some snide crap (turns out really no snider than our usual) about David Weigel in reference to his knowing/having been photographed w/ Megan McArdle, but we've enjoyed everything of his to which we've been referred in the WashInd, so in the recent Andrew Breitbart tradition (Not really, it's not as if we're about to be exposed for our bullshit & are making a pre-emptive pseudo-apology.) we promise to leave Mr. Weigel alone. It's not his fault he has to be in D. C. for a living.
