A libertarian on his land doesn't need to associate with anybody, this
is true. My point is that it is HIGHLY hypocritical of a libertarian to
INVITE anybody on his or her property and then expect to act like the
petty fasco-statist toward them. To paraphrase a term applied to the
likes of John McCain, such a 'libertarian' is a "Libertarian In Name
Only".
