Libertarians aren't exactly know for being very honest... Or smart... Or reading the whole page when someone lays out policy positions.

Honestly, the No True Scotsman fallacy should be renamed the No True Libertarian. Ask one hundred libertarians what a libertarian is, and you'll get two thousand different answers. So it's no shock this guy "isn't a real libertarian".

Libertarian just means "I just want to do whatever I want, no matter how it affects others".

Depending on who you ask, it also means "I'm a Republican who has no issues with drugs and minors".
