I'll probably get flamed for saying this, but here goes:

The problem with libertarians is that they overemphasize the rights of the individual to the detriment of the society, which is the opposite of the progressives, who see the individualistic point of view as a detriment to social development.

There has to be a balance between our rights and our responsibilities, and there is a difference between liberty and license. While many of our founders where not Christian, they realized that the Judeo-Christian foundation was necessary starting point for our country, as it had a balance between the rights of the individual along with their responsibility to their fellow man. Both progressives and libertarians work to undermine this foundation of this Republic.
