It seems to me that libertarians fundamentally don't believe in democracy. Why? Because democracy means sometimes having to obey the will of the majority even when you don't agree with it.
1. I don't believe in democracy. Democracy is a horrible system prone to what some people like to call the "tyranny of the majority". The majority is often stupid, just remember that. The majority once thought it was alright to own slaves and they were indeed property, but I doubt you'd advocate locking up those who stole that property and let it go free, now would you?
2. What I do believe in is our Constitutional Republic, which by no means is perfect, but is far superior to democracy.
Guess what? Most libertarians don't do drugs(nor do we advocate use, we believe that the drug war just causes more problems than is solves), have driver's licenses, and pay our taxes. And once again, just because the majority designates something a crime does not mean it is an actual crime.
The Constitution means nothing if the people don't enforce it. It is a mere piece of paper written by the people telling government how it will work and what it can and cannot do. Once the people stop enforcing it, it becomes nothing more than a piece of paper.
Please, I'm curious, do you think the Patriot Act is constitutional?
He's running for president, how does he not believe in the democratic process? He's part of the democratic process for pete's sake.
As for following laws I disagree with, as I said most libertarians do, but there is only so much that people will tolerate. Remember, by today's standards the founding fathers were criminals.
