This was brilliant. I am currently engaged in a discussion/debate with a guy who comes from the opposite end of the political spectrum. We are both trying (albeit no one has explicitly stated this) to decide if we can REALLY live with each other's beliefs/opinions/cherished tenets long enough to have an actual relationship as opposed to just some good hate/drunken sex. So I've been doing a lot of thinking about my stances and why I believe the things I do and why I vote the way I do (good news — most of it has held up since I first formed these opinions). But your statement is just brilliant and eloquent and I hope you don't mind that I am going to borrow heavily (I'll totally give you credit) when talking to this guy.

[...] Reading the liberal Gin and Tacos blog yesterday — "It’s Not Like Intellectuals Hating Their Stupid Parents Is a Cliché or Anything" — I came across what the pseudonymous assistant professor of political science offered as a statement of his philosophy, a rant against libertarianism. [...]

@Sandee "Current Note: At least half the population pays NO taxes. Yet they vote. Which says if you have nothing to lose..why not vote your self interest? Where does that ALWAYS lead? The results are all around us."

Actually Sandee, the current sorry state of our society is due to people being constantly tricked into voting AGAINST their own self-interests. Just look at how many dirt poor people are advocating AGAINST raising taxes on billionaires by 3%, while supporting people like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan who want raise the taxes on the poor in order to give more tax breaks to themselves. If people ACTUALLY voted for their self interests, 99% of them would vote liberal and the upper 1% would vote conservative. Providing the greatest possible benefit to the greatest number of people is literally the central tenet of liberal politics.

"…because Milton Friedman says the TSA's should be auctioned off to some politically-connected mall security guard outfit, I'm a liberal."

In my experience, mall cops are nicer (and way smarter) than the average TSA worker. People work for the TSA because they can't get jobs as mall cops…

If the majority of people are evil, and the majority votes for limited government, does that make limited government evil by its own argument?

But, yeah, you essentially just exposed the heart of libertarianism: "If people are evil, I don't have to help them." But that's the road to evil itself, because no one's perfect. Exactly how evil must people be in order to be justifiably denied help? Do only perfect people deserve help? How about the nearly-perfect? Do they deserve help? Could helping people be good, even if they don't deserve it? Libertarians doesn't even consider those questions–they just want their rock'n'roll (which is fine—I want mine too), but unfortunately the right got their hooks into them first. A little knowledge, etc.
