>> Britain goes libertarian, next is polygamy.

They enacted law, silly.

The House of Commons voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to approve a bill legalizing same-sex marriage in Britain.

libertarianism: an extreme laissez-faire political philosophy advocating only minimal state intervention in the lives of citizens.

Britain enacted part of the libertarian agenda, homosexual marriage, libertarians also support polygamy.

In my opinion, that definition is ass backwards as it applies to America. Unlike other countries -America is quite different. In America the government IS comprised of the citizens; society -government does not rule society; society rules government. Minimal state intervention is achieved through limiting government.

In America, Libertarians have a problem with society -specifically with social order. As such, it is easy to see WHY libertarians are actually leftists BECAUSE they support efforts to impose via government tyranny minimal societal intervention in the role of governance.
