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.

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...

Not even the Confederacy (to which your true allegiance lies)

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

Not really. There are bogus Libertarians (e.g. people who are "into" Libertarianism because they like part of the "message", such as drug legalization or limiting the powers of the Federal Government), but those folks are like hypocrite "conservative" Republicans who "spent like a drunken sailor" while preaching fiscal discipline. It's like an atheist who calls himself a "Christian" because he likes the "philosophy", but he just can't get into the "Son of God" part since he doesn't believe in God in the first place. If you're going to raise up the Libertarian banner, be careful where you put your hands 'cause that brown stuff on the flag staff aint mud.
