Not who you ' re replying to , but he addressed the can I disagree with one part of libertarianism and still be a libertarian question . He feels that subsidies , and the way corn subsidies are administered in particular , strikethrough so many tenets of libertarianism that support for them just isn ' t kosher . I ' m a big tent guy . I like seeing more people in rLibertarian , and I like seeing more people open to learning about why we believe what we believe and learning that the ideology isn ' t just government is too big and wasteful . I don ' t know where you are on this spectrum , but you sound new to it all , or you need to work on presenting your reasoning better we all do . If it ' s a national security issue , expand on that . Most libertarians recognize the role of government in that arena . Digging your heels in on the no true scotsman issue won ' t get you anywhere , and won ' t develop your thinking on the issues assuming you ' re open to that .
