The political wars are not fought over getting government off everyone's backs. They are fought over getting government off our backs and onto someone else's. Everyone supports the freedoms they find important. Many will quickly ride rough shod over freedoms they consider unimportant. This is what separates libertarians from the rest of the crowd.
Libertarians value the freedom of others.
A true libertarian will support your right to be different and live a different life style, even if the libertarian despises your choices. A libertarian who hates smoking will support the right of others to smoke, as long as they don't blow the smoke in the faces of nonconsenting people. Libertarians are not self-sacrificing people who put the rights and freedom of others above their own well being. If we have the right to tell others how to live and spend, they have equal right to do the same to us. It is might makes right.
