Libertarian notions have no chance of ever working in real life. Nonsense. Reducing the role of government has often been quite beneficial in real life. Where is there a community where you have the John Galt type geniuses living happily together? Being a Libertarian doesn't mean you have to be an Ann Rand Objectivist, or John Gault. It means you support limited government. And if even John Gault types can't live happily together in a society that fits their desires, thats because other people forcibly impose on them, not because of some fault of their particular version of libertarianism, and certainly not because of some fault in the idea of limited government. Is Bush right wing or libertarian? I think so. He is certainly no liberal. Right wing? Maybe. Libertarian, no.
