Serious Question...how can you possibly NOT be a libertarian?

[TFOGGER]

I am curious. What do people have against libertarianism? I just don't see how anyone could be against anything on the libertarian platform. And the argument "because it takes votes away from republicans and allows democrats to win elections" has been proven completely false so that doesn't count.

I genuinely want to know.

I am a libertarian, but not a Libertarian. The Libertarian party is almost as organized as a herd of cats on Adderol, and their public platform is naively utopian, in many ways relying on the noble nature of mankind to ensure the prevention of tyranny. Many persons possess such a noble mentality, but PEOPLE as a group do not. I want nothing more than for my government to intrude as little as possible into my affairs, while fulfilling the duties explicitly laid out in the Constitution. I want good value for my taxes, so that they are levied at the lowest possible level. The current major parties fail miserably at this; the Libertarians espouse lofty goals in this respect, but offer little in the way of substantive alternatives.
