Q. How do you know who are the libertarians in the break room?

A. They'll tell you about it. All day. While in the break room.

6. Having a discussion with a "libertarian" is like sticking a hot poker up an orifice-

Circular logic, like chasing a cat around and around a tree.
Supply and demand, incentives, taxation is literally robbery, all politicians are corrupt therefore government is bad at everything.
So if you increase taxes, all you are doing is increasing the corruption.
When you pin them down on specifics, they will concede that subsidies to oil and sugar companies and ethanol are bad but that unions damage this country equally as much as corporations, if not more. Usually more.
I've heard it all and try not to bother with these deluded dolts any more.
I usually terminate the conversation with "Libertarianism works if you are on an island the size of Australia with only a hundred other people. And are well-armed."
If that doesn't work, then: "Name a time and place in history where this has proven to work, then I will be on your side."

9. Actually I find talking to Libertarians very easy.

Libertarian: "I'm voting Ron Paul, no matter who catches the primary. He's our only hope to get America back on track and away from its big welfare nanny-statism."
Me: "Shut up."

Or

Libertarian: "So I told him, of course infinite growth is possible on a finite planet. That second-hander just didn't understand the #1 rule; the market will provide"
Me: "Shut up."

Or

Libertarian: "Look, I'm not pro-war, and I'm anti-empire, but let's face it; those people over there have stuff we need and aren't willing to give us a fair market price. They're interfering with free trade. In a way, they declared war on us!"
Me: "Shut up."

See? It's fucking easy.

7. They wear dirty ball caps with penguins on them?

Or is it dirty t-shirts with penguins on them. I can't remember.

[surrealAmerican]

11. Do libertarians use an operating system that they didn't pay for?

Wouldn't that make them socialists?

[lumberjack_jeff]

8. They're also the ones eating your lunch. n/t

[kenny blankenship]

10. They leave their trash lying around

and then sermonize on how privatization of everything is justified by the "tragedy of the commons"?
