There is also the mini-anarchists...
Well, that depends on how you define "libertarian" and "communitarian" doesn't it?
The big-L and small-l distinction is made even by most members of the Libertarian party. A left-libertarian is not a Libertarian, but is still a libertarian by definition. And I certainly think much of the geolibertarian philosophy of real-property ownership is communitarian by anyone's definition.
Come on. You claimed all liberals were parasites. Are you lecturing me on overgenerlization? If you need an example of Republican insanity, look at Iowa where they are trying to remove judges for allowing same sex marriage in the state.
Liberals pay taxes like everyone else.
No you wouldn't. If you aren't helping your community now, then that is indicative that you don't have the feelings of obligation and commitment that drive people who do. Blaming time and opportunity is a copout for a lack of motivation that is derived from not being socialized to value helping the community.
47% of americans pay no income tax-their voting patterns are hard to prove but the Dems tend to win among the lowest income groups
That's pretty harsh. Although what you say might be true, it is also entirely possible that somebody might want to help out in the community but not have enough time. I think our fellow forum goers deserve the benefit of the doubt.

socialist redistribution of wealth is not a valid concept of libertarianism nor is "freedom" that requires others to fund it
I would like to see some evidence of that.
I actually have plans to start doing more work and helping more organizations... I am actually in the process of planning projects and I have already committed my future resources.. so much for making assumptions about me.
remind me the proof behind your claim about central planning being preferred etc
dems have always won the majority of HS dropout votes
I've watched people who have kids, have a full time job, and are going to school, and they still find time to help in the community. When someone says they don't have time or opportunity, they almost always mean they don't want to commit energy to it. The people who value community service get energy from community service whereas those who don't find it to be an energy drain.
Is firm organization planned centrally, or through market forces, e.g. is each individual acting on the behalf of themselves? Intra-firm central planning is the norm, please do try and keep up.
I was trying to say, if I had more time and resources to offer I would.. not that I have no time or resources to offer. I am not Oprah. I can't give millions of dollars that I don't have... but if I had millions I would give more. I wish I could change the world.. haha. But seriously, there are certain issues that are close to my heart that I really wish I could do more about. I think somethings take time, research, and patience.. IDK.
a rather erroneous view of libertarians
I'm not attacking ya, just pointing out a few realities. Those who have not engaged in community service are not likely to engage in community service. The people who do either have something personal at stake or they have been socialized to value it.
Where is the evidence for these claims?
do you disagree or are you trying to derail things because that fact is inconvenient to your position

It could be true, or it could not be true. How am I suppose to know without any evidence?
I really tire of that crap about keeping up when its evasion
What proof do you have of your claim?
G O O G L E-try it
but you see I have been debating stuff for years and I know what the evidence is-I don't spend alot of time looking for links of stuff I know is true
its one of those facts anyone who argues about voting patterns in the USA knows
As evidence, Mr. Wolfe points to a new poll by Washington Post/ABC News that found that white people without a college degree favor John McCain, the Republican candidate, by 17 percentage points, while those with a college degree prefer Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate, by 9 percentage points.

I generally expect people who make such arguments to provide the evidence to support them. It's called, "burden of proof".
For example I read statistics like these...
And they kinda go counter to what you suggest.
And of course other stats like these...
Obama Education Gap Extends to General Election
So I'm struggling to find evidence to support what you suggest.
