This isn't a perceived threat from some wack job in a cave in Afghanistan trying to figure out how to kill us - it is a right now killer with just one resistant bug killing 30,000 a year. Less than 3,000 were killed in 9-11 and look what our response was! But ten times that number killed every year from a bug that is largely incubated in our own hospitals barely gets a mention. So yes, I'm a libertarian who believes there is little difference in protecting people from one type of terrorist to another. Since the only practical means of controlling this growing threat is through a coordinated government response - we should have socialized medicine. Steve for Prez! Or at least Secr of HHS! You've got my vote!

There has to be some threshold percentage of libertarian bs that you believe in before you can call yourself a libertarian. From what I can see, a lot , but not all, of your libertarian beliefs are relatively trivial but you are no libertarian when it comes to a lot of the big, important issues. I know a libertarian when I see one. You are no libertarian.
