In my collection of libertarian-related humor, I have some items that are very funny in large part because they take something that is (at least somewhat) true and stretch it to an absurd level.
Especially in my collection of anti-libertarian jokes.
- How the rest of the world views libertarians.
- The video of Somalia as libertarian paradise.
- The tyrannical snowplow.
But now I have the ultimate insult. This photo from the libertarian page on Reddit is a biting example of the “missionary” in the bottom row showing the 24 types of libertarians. Someone who is so driven to proselytize that they overlook….um…other normal human impulses.
For what it’s worth, I consider myself a multi-tasking libertarian.
I don’t think there are many people in the world who share my deep-seated hostility to the IRS and internal revenue code.
But I also try to live a balanced life, with time for other pursuits such as Georgia football, Yankees baseball, playing softball, and…um…something else, but I’m getting so old that I forget what that other thing is.

“taxation as theft” and “draining the swamp” are subjects best addressed during afterglow… they make for romantic and stimulating pillow talk…………….
I’m 73 years old and agree with you in regard to the IRS theft and other deep state thefts of our liberties. However, I’m not a Libertarian, but consider myself an Independent, Constitutional traditionalist, fiscally conservative for limited government. And I’m a Dodger fan since 1954, but support any team who’s beating the Yankee’s or SF Giants. I’m an SEC fan and graduate of Auburn. But I’m sorry that I can’t help you with the last thing you’re trying to remember. Oh, well, it’ll come to me. Thanks for your work on liberty and economics. Keep it up. I spread your stuff around to friends.
