You know, i don't really get your argument or what Deism has to do with it.
I will say though my own libertarian leaning beliefs don't really jive with what's convenient for me. I have no interest in actually trying to be super rich or successful.
I essentially want just enough money to live a fairly poor (by western standards) life where ism just assured to have enough money to buy food, video-games every once in a while and a standard computer every 4-5 years or so. With minor other expenses.
In most europeon countries I could have all my needs, and quite honestly, all my wants met... by doing pretty much nothing.
Nor do I particularly think everything works out under the free market. I just think more things tend to work out under a free market then other systems, because if you take selfishness as the biggest problem of the free market. Such a thing only gets magnified in government, because now instead of the selfishness of millions, it's the selfishness of hundreds... in government. It's easier for a single politician to lie then an entire business... and money, unlike votes are a continual thing.
Businesses and private employees have to worry about perception every day. Politicians, every 2-4 years. (note, this is a quasi-free market i'm talking about with evenhanded clear rules and regulations.)
