Likely because of the fact that the Framers weren’t ‘libertarians.’I know, I said we were until you and your parasite allies took it over. The founding fathers were virtually identical to today's small government libertarians
I'm not an anarchist, moron
We were never governed by some nit-wit Libertarian philosophy. And, to be honest, our best years were after our forefathers died off so I'm not exactly sure you are aiming at making a good (though incorrect) point to begin with.
Yet you can't name differences between the founding fathers and modern libertarians, which should be easy if we are so different. Good luck with that
Once again, I didn't say you are an anarchist. I said that anarchy is a byproduct of libertarianism. Apparently you are unable to understand that sentence.
Again, unable to comprehend, I didn't say you said I'm an anarchist, I said you're arguing I'm one. You think I won't regulate pollution, that I support the rule of companies when I support the rule of choice and you're asking me about Somalia which has no central government, not a limited government. I'm not an anarchist, moron.
And I don't know what anarchy being a byproduct of libertarianism even means, but what does that have to do with me since I'm not an anarchist?
So, again, where are the great Utopian libertarian societes today? Where would John Galt plant his flag in 2016? Name 3 countries.
Why? We're number one with a bullet, that's what it's all about
You haven't established that the founding fathers were libertarian. It's your claim, you go first. In the meantime, name 3 flourishing libertarian countries. As a Libertarian I don't think you can.
“The idea that our Founding Fathers envisioned a regime opposed to regulation and the protection of its citizens’ welfare from private actors, laughable to any serious historian, has nevertheless become the signature bromide of the libertarian vocabulary. The Constitution, it is often remarked, establishes a government of limited powers — an unobjectionable truth — but the fact that its powers are limited does not negate the mountain of evidence that those venerable lions who invented American democracy were far more concerned with corporate usurpations of freedom than by any threat posed by a government fairly elected by the people.”
The Founding Fathers Were Not Libertarians
Yeah but Kid Rock would have a problem with this.
You two need to get a room
