We've never tried libertarian policies, at most just paid lip service to them. Both parties like power too much.
Just because the spirit of the age may be in favor of forcing other people to make sacrifices for the 'common good' at the point of a gun doesn't mean I have to find it any less morally repugnant.
I mean, it's a WAR! If a few Japanese fifth columnists have to sell their property and relocate to a camp then it's just a communitarian solution to the present crisis, right?
