Talk about "straw men"! I'm not the one writing about how "close" I feel to the Libertarians, that's YOU. And the last time I checked, the Liberaltarians didn't like the idea of states regulating dope, porn or abortions any more than they liked the Feds doing it. Not even the Confederacy (to which your true allegiance lies) would have tolerated Libertarians, they'd have lynched them right next to an "uppity" slave or a Yankee abolitionist.
There are different versions of Libertarians just as there are Republicans and Democrats. Should I take the ardent demands from some around here to vote Republican that they implicitly support the government waste that has been foisted upon us in the past 6 years? Government waste I would remind you that if forwarded by Democrats would have been tantamount to the return of the Anti-Christ. Howls for revolution would have echoed from every post. But it was 'our' team so that condones it I suppose...

Well at least you got one thing right. My ancestors stood bravely against the overpowering central government. Some died in service, some lived, but I am thankful for every one of them
