Could you elaborate in a PM, if it's not too much trouble?

Because lying is not Christian.

Are you literally saying that eveyr Libertarian is, by nature, lying about something...?

That doesn't describe all of the Libertarians that I know...
I also think like... the irony here... is if they were to be concerned about the liberty of absolutely everyone else, that would imply that they need to go pound sand, e.g., be involved in foreign affairs and wars.
I think that the Libertarians are actually doing people a favor by having a narrow scope.
