I love libertarian ideas like let people do what they want, government should have minimal intervention in peoples' lives, stuff like that. But the libertarian party is full of the worst type of people and they will never be taken seriously for any major election.

Libertarian ideas about freedom from government intervention are taken to an extreme and wrapped up in the denial of funding social supports, because pooling resources for the overall benefit of society is evil or something.

Many countries establish personal rights in a way that still allow for freedom without the libertarian selfishness aspect.

Let people do what they want. Unless they're buying junk food with food stamps!

Some junk food purchases became allowable only after the increased homeless population forced poor people to eat food that didn't require a stove or refrigerator.

Libertarians want minimal government intervention only when it comes to services that THEY don't need. Libertarians have no philosophical restrictions on military spending that protects THEIR assets from foreign invaders.

Lol we (the US) haven't had "foreign invaders" since the War of 1812.

False. Pearl Harbor was a foreign invasion. So are covert assassinations by foreign operatives.

False. Hawaii wasn't a state in 1941 and Pearl Harbor wasn't an invasion anyway. Wake Island would be a better example since it was actually invaded, but it was also a claimed territory and not a state. Assassinations are not "invasions".
