Couldn't hear the audio on this hotel computer but, obviously, Somalia is not run by a Libertarian government. Libertarianism is not anarchy. Libertarians have no objection to having a government that enforces laws prohibiting direct attacks by individuals against others.

Libertarianism may hold that a person should not be arrested for smoking pot or utilizing a prostitute. But it does not hold that a person should not be arrested, tried, convicted, and penalized for breaking into someone else's house to steal a TV, murdering someone else, robbing someone else at gunpoint, etc.

Somalia is not Libertarianism at all. In one sense it's anarchy. In another sense it is a collection of small, relatively informal dictatorships. A series of extremely repressive and authoritarian little "governments."
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

And the fact that boR would equate Somalia to a Libertarian's idea of effective government speaks to just how far removed from reality most far lefties are. :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

McCain could not have picked a better VP candidate than Sarah Palin AZgrizFan, Summer 2008
"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

Leave it to Douche1Bag to make a comment totally unrelated to the discussion at hand.

In four posts, he'll have this converted to a thread about religion bashing.

It must be really tough for libertarians to live in the U.S. what with all the benefits of big government they receive.

Somalia is exactly what a perfectly libertarian system would look like. :thumb:
