I was hoping for someone more topical, not someone from your shrine of long dead Presidents, Alan.But I can't say I'm suprised by your tactic, as its so much easier to live in the fog of the by-gone era, as a libertarian, than the reality of today.That's just the burden some of carry for poor souls like you, coping in the day to day, while the libertarian pines and sucks his thumb about a "better time".

Reality or Illusion...the choice that faces all Libertarians, and one from which they run as fast as they can.

With the exception of Ron Paul there are no Republicans I would support for office. They're not only doing nothing to reverse the headlong rush toward bigger government, but are actively contributing to its growth. And while you may like to herald a $300 tax cut as some major victory, or point out that Republicans only want to expand government at 4% annually as opposed to the Democrats' 7%, both halves of the Incumbent Party are really working toward the same end -- bigger government.

You carry no burden other than that which you have strapped on yourself. You'll continue doing what you've always done, and in twenty years when the federal budget is $5 trillion you'll tell me I should be thankful that Republicans kept it from growing to $6 trillion.
