You know if you have a sort of crazy liberal or conservative, they almost always argue from sentiment, and sometimes morality. But libertarians argue from morality and reason. The problem is that the barrier to entry for ‘reason’ is a lot higher than the barrier to entry for morality or sentiment. And the number of libertarians that can’t cross that barrier is just as high as the number of conservatives and liberals that can’t cross it. So more libertarians look like idiots than conservatives and liberals, simply because the bar to NOT look like an idiot is a lot higher in libertarianism. Thankfully a lot of us get over that bar.

Although, not enough unfortunately. 🙂
