How did humanity evolve for 100,000's of years w/ out Gov't supported healthcare ?

How ?

How did the American people survive for 200 years without the government monitoring our mail, our speech, our e-mail, our purchases, our library-checkouts, our internet browsing, our phone calls, our texts, our travel... etc?

How'd they go so long without guns?

Working on it.

The problem with the Tea Party is that because it's a set of ideas and not an organization, anyone can set themselves up as a "tea party leader" even if they have no real libertarian roots (Sarah Palin, Sal Russo* and now Jeb Bush)

* For those not familiar with Sal Russo, here's who he really is:

I actually would be tempted to include Glenn Beck here, but I have to grant that he *was* a libertarian before the Tea Party, so he's not completely out of line, he's just a worrisome self appointed leader of it.

Sorry, Beck is NOT (nor was) a libertarian in my book, even if he calls himself one.

Beck has never supported to end the War on Terror or to end the Patriot Act. Or to cut aid to all foreign govt. Or to make govt smaller in truly significant ways. Not the way Ron Paul has.

I'd like to agree, but you know my definition of groups, if you call yourself a duck and the other ducks don't kick you out of the nest, you're a duck.

Beck's been calling himself a libertarian for a while, since before the Tea Party. He's not my idea of libertarian, and I'd agree with you about Ron Paul, whose Tea Party it is, but there are possibly other types of libertarian. There's a group who calls themselves "Libertarian Socialists" It seems to me this is an oxymoron, but then, as long as they quack, they're probably a ducklike creature of some sort.

I don't accept Beck as a tea party leader, but a lot of ducklings do. I'd personally like to see him gone off into whatever Betty Ford has for politicians ;)

First, the Tea Party may have started out supporting Ron Paul, but it's deviated far and long since becoming popular. I would say they no longer support even half of Ron Paul's positions anymore. So again in my book, the Tea Party is not libertarian.

Yes, Beck is well respected in the Tea Party, which is one reason why I don't respect the Tea Party.
