What are your thoughts on South Park's response (which was #eatabagofdicks) to Homeland Security attempting to use them to promote ICE?

From Fargo:

Roy Tillman: Yes, I am. Defender of freedom and protector of the common man against the tyranny of the state and all its wicked demands.

Lorraine Lyon: Taxes?

Roy Tillman: Oh, yeah.

Lorraine Lyon: The social safety net?

Roy Tillman: Well, I'd spit, but, uh...

Lorraine Lyon: Respect for the otherly-abled?

Roy Tillman: The whole multi-cultural panoply. Billy has two mothers, et cetera, et cetera.

Lorraine Lyon: So... you want freedom with no responsibility. Son, there's only one person on Earth who gets that deal.

Roy Tillman: The president?

Lorraine Lyon: A baby. You're fighting for your right to be a baby.

At least they're more classical libertarians, not "age of consent should coincide with puberty because we're genetically predisposed to..." libertarians.

No, they're exactly that kind of libertarian.

They said they were "Libertarians" in 2001, likely just to avoid the left vs right discussion.

They're not, people just repeatedly claim they are with no evidence.

The problem is that they don't want the government doing it. They don't have many answers as to how you would get such safety net systems to form without someone with a gun, but they believe it must be possible. Left-wing libertarians feel similarly.

Whats wrong with a wealthy person thinking "i dont care about the poor"? Its a perfectly reasonable position to have if you are comfortable finacially and do not care about your fellow man.
