The problem with Libertarianism and communism and islam is that they enforce abstractions and utopias...dangerous minefields for humanity as we have seen.

Heh! I didn't know I was self-centered and angry, but thanks for telling me. I need to take issue with the above line. Libertarianism is the opposite of communism, and Libertarians don't cut off each other's heads because one of them is for public schools and another for a strong national defense and immigration policy. Libertarianism is a political philosophy, and like any political philosophy, accommodations need to be made when they meet the real world. I can't imaging many republicans are happy with expanding the federal government at 2-3 times inflation, expanded medicare prescription, or NCLB. I'm not, but I voted straight Republican because of the Dems and because national defense is paramount.

Works for me!

I realize that Libertarians are not Communists...although at times they have the same glassy eyed stare that some marxists I know display.

And their origins share many similarities.
