    You can choose to read "blatantly ironic example" as "political football," but coming from someone who rubs Benghazi like a magical fetish item, your sudden outbreak of don't-use-the-dead-for-political-purposes is a bit rich.

    I think Kent is a very good example of where libertarianism leads—one of many such examples.

    Any Rand took social security, for example.

    Even when libertarians get handouts, they rarely recognize them as such. Ted Cruz doesn't believe the tax breaks he gets through his wife's medical insurance have anything to do with tax or revenue. Assuming you have a mortgage, I'm willing to bet you don't see your mortgage deduction as a middle-class payoff, even though that is precisely what it is.

    You state, with absolutely nothing to back it up, that Kent "would not have supported Obamacare or socialized medicine." Yeah, not so sure about that, especially when he was dying, and possibly aware of the bills he was leaving to mama. Libertarians tend to see the value of collective risk management (i.e., "society") once the repercussions of their peculiar notion of freedom come knocking at the door.
