Joseph Farah, someone who I most of the time agree with, writes an egregious article where he attempts to condemn libertarians. This comment below eked me more than the rest of the misconceptions he waxs, especially the part about man not being inherently good and needing a higher authority. Please come correct next time Joe.

“Libertarians make a fundamental mistake about the nature of man. Man is not inherently good. Man can only learn to govern himself when he understands there is a higher accountability – a higher authority. Ideally, that higher authority is not the government, but God. Government can only demand good behavior through force. But when individuals understand they are accountable to God, and that He requires certain kinds of behavior as defined in the Ten Commandments and the totality of scripture, there is a chance for man to maximize his freedom here on earth. “
