It was good that he was socially liberal, wanting the government out of our homes.
But then, he went off on taxes and government services.
That's where I hit him with his own logic, and made it really unreasonable.
"Umm.. so, if your house burns down, what happens?"
Him: "Well, I collect house insurance and buy a new house."
"Ok, who makes sure that your insurance company actually pays up, and doesn't just declare bankruptcy like in 'The Rainmaker' ? The Government of California. You know, the State Insurance Commissioner."
"Oh, and I guess you'll never call the police or fire department for any thing either. Because that is government."
"You'll also be throwing away your Driver's License because that was issued by the state DMV. You know --- Government. Going to drive around without a DL then eh? You should be meeting one of those police government agents real soon then."
"Tell them you are a Libertarian. That should save you from being arrested and jailed for driving without a license, and your vehicle impounded at a government lot." 
"Also, I guess you won't be paying your water, sewer, trash or electric bills either, because those are government services regulated by various government entities. Can't have that now can we?"
"Also, when you buy your new home, after collecting that insurance money, you'll be going through a real estate agent and bank right? Who regulates them? The government. You know, the FDIC for banks and DRE for Real Estate Agents."
"Seems to me you hate government and taxes, but want to take as much from them as you can, without having to pay a dime."
He shut up and never mentioned it again.
