"Libertarians" are intrinsically, unavoidably hypocritical.

Sorry "Libertarians," but you inhabit a fantasy world. A "Libertarian" is the sort who issues blanket condemnations of "Government," employing no specificity whatsoever, even as he drives down government-funded streets and highways, walks on taxpayer-funded sidewalks, uses government-funded sanitation systems, rides government-subsidized New York subways, Atlanta buses or Illinois METRA trains. A "Libertarian" very likely benefits from the education he received at a government-affiliated University and breathes air that is considerably less contaminated with lead than it was in 1970 due to the action of that government agency, EPA. Many more example of this kind of "Libertarian" duplicity are possible, but hopefully I've made my point. Ayn Rand received Social Security near the end of her life, and benefited from Medicare, too.
