Consider, for example, Taylor's charge that Brown is "a passionate advocate of a radical, anti-regulatory vision of judicially enforced property rights far more absolute than can be squared with the Supreme Court precedents." Quite so, save for the anti-regulatory part (she's actually anti-takings, which is not the same as anti-regulation).
In a similar vein, Taylor is struck that Brown has "called for a new 'conceptual approach' that would invalidate laws redistributing wealth from one group to another." Yet the Court itself took that approach in 1936 in United States v.

Most of this media attention was focused around charges of anti-Semitism that were being leveled against the hip-hop group Public Enemy, who at the time were among the most popular and critically acclaimed hip-hop artists.

 Re: Small-l/Big-L question
"Are Libertarians Anti-Government" http://www.cato.org/pubs/policy_report/v20n4/antigovt.pdf This briefly and eloquently explains the concept of "limited government" and can be used to illustrate your position to others to explain that you don't believe in "weak government" you just believe in "limited government." STRONG government does not equal BIG government, since thats rediculous faulty logic.
You could also refer to yourself as a "CATO Libertarian," since the CATO Institute is the best and most well respected proponents of limited government.
Nozick calls this the "minimal State") So Nozicks position which is widely accepted as that of a minimal-state is representative of a mathematical lower-bound for what we refer to today as "limited government." Now granted, the LP's position may have the appearance of being extreme but as far as extremes go....

 Corporate Welfare
Also "...federal aid to dependent corporations is a major contributor to the federal budget deficit." It creates an uneven playing field for corporations and fosters an "incestuous relationship between business and government." Corporate welfare is anti-consumer and anti-capitalist, states Cato's report, by raising costs to consumers and transforming the businessman from entrepreneur to lobbyist.
Whereas social welfare is concerned with the needs of children, the elderly, and those in society who cannot fully care for themselves, corporate welfare cares for businesses and industries that are often not only developed, but actually stable and quite self-sufficient.
Until recently, the problems related to corporate welfare (e.g., environmental degradation, increasing tax burden on the average citizen and problems with balancing the federal budget) have been relatively ignored in relation to budget debates.
