2008: Proof of how fallible libertarianism is

It should have been a banner year for the libertarians.  The republicans are in the toilet and the nation has not fully turned to the democrats.  It was a once in a generation chance for the libertarian party to stand up.

But no.  Reality had to intervene and prove how totally fallible libertarianism is.  Ron Paul fans would whoop and holler, but not only did Ron Paul lose almost every primary he was in, in some states he actually lost to other candidate who had already dropped out!  Ron Paul is getting beat by a republican who openly admits he doesn't know much about the economy. 

It's time to put this tired faux-political philosophy to bed.  The libertarians don't have a chance in hell to win anything, they can't even come together to rally around Bob Barr.  Why all the trouble?  Maybe because anybody older than 18 with a fucking brain realizes how naive and juvenile the whole platform is.  LOL

Capitalism requires a proper system of property rights and protection of said rights. Property rights are not and never have been protected under any circumstances without pre-existing government systems. Governments enact property rights as a means of encuraging overall prosperity and increasing its legitimacy. Individuals have no incentive to enforce property rights, only governments.

Governments are not, and cannot be limited by property rights.
