Wait, what? Are you talking about a privatized road or a taxpayer funded road? The taxpayer funded one is only going to work if it directly benefits the libertarian!

Libertarian Gary Johnson: We should tax carbon emissions.
Democrats: Are you crazy? We are only supposed to talk about that stuff so we look good, if we actually do it we'll lose jobs and it'll make us look bad.
Libertarian Gary Johnson: We should reduce Military spending.
Democrats: Are you crazy? We need to have more money for drone strikes!
Libertarian Gary Johnson: We should get rid of the NSA, the government spying on everyone goes against our personal freedom and liberties.
Democrats: But we need to be able to know what everyone is up to! We have extra money to spend anyways, why not spend it spying on Americans?
Libertarian Gary Johnson: Our debt is higher than our GDP, we need to reduce spending.
Democrats: We can just go into more debt, no big deal our kids will pay for it.
Libertarian Gary Johnson: We should stop sending our soldiers into battle without good reason.
Democrats: But we need to try and get votes from the republicans, we have to send them out to make us look more moderate!

Oh wait, I guess the jokes on the democrats

Does irony count? Galt's Gulch Chile:

Quote
Being libertarians, many of GGC’s investors were against the use of government courts to correct the injustices and receive the property they paid for. But what they found was that there simply was no other way to regain their stolen property without doing so.

Here's a modified joke that was originally about feminists:

If an Aleppo falls in the desert, and one is a non-interventionist, does he care if it makes a sound?

No, these are libertarian jokes.  It would dispense Dagny Taggart.

Nah, those don't qualify. Remember, the machines would only dispense "privately owned" heroines. Hence, Tubman. Or maybe a transgender Spartacus.

Well, the New York Times didn't know what/where Aleppo was either.  Note that it took them two corrections to get it right:

Quote from: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/09/us/politics/gary-johnson-aleppo.html?_r=0
Correction: September 8, 2016
An earlier version of this article misidentified the de facto capital of the Islamic State. It is Raqqa, in northern Syria, not Aleppo.

Correction: September 8, 2016
An earlier version of the above correction misidentified the Syrian capital as Aleppo. It is Damascus.

Also true, and perplexing. I can't figure out how that was so hard for the NYT to get right.
