Hey, robby hood, this is for you: I was walking home one evening and came upon a clearly depressed man standing at the edge of a bridge, looking like he was about to jump. I called out to him to wait, and ran over to see what was the matter.
“It’s this country,” he lamented. “It’s falling into ruin and there’s nothing I can do about it. The election was the last straw. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.”
“Well cheer up,” I said. “We’re all in this together. Say, are you a conservative, or a libertarian?”
“A libertarian,” he said.
“That’s great!” I said. “See, you’re not alone. Are you a free-market libertarian or a libertarian socialist?”
“Free-market libertarian,” he said.
“Me too!” I said. “Paleo-libertarian or neo-libertarian?”
“Paleo-libertarian,” he said.
“Hey, so am I!” I said. “Chicago or Austrian school of economics?”
“Austrian,” he said.
“Me too,” I said. “Hayek or Rothbardian strand?”
“Rothbardian,” he said.
“Same here,” I said. “Are you a consequentialist or deontological libertarian?”
“Consequentialist,” he said.
So I said, “Die, statist scum!” and pushed him off the bridge.

Amazing tidbit of honesty from Scott.
Conservatives and libertarians seek to be elected in order to not solve problems and ignore situations until they reach critical mass.
AND
Object to liberals when they do try to find solutions.
