I believe in law, order, and taxes. I believe in beating up the bad guy before he gets to be the neighborhood bully. I believe in civil society, morals, rules based on integrity and principles, the glue that holds a healthy society together.

Libertarian, from what I have picked up on FR seems kind of anarchist to me. And anarchy is mahem, I'm far too lazy for mahem.

anarchy is mahem

Only with a populace who recognizes no Law. The Israelites had no king and no police, just the judges, and they did pretty well, no?

No conflict exists here unless you look to religion for morality. Religion has no place in politics. Secular ethics are the only answer for a modern civil society.

We agree with anarchists less than most on the religious right agree with socialism (well actually there are strong similarities between the religious right and socialism so maybe that is a bad comparison...).

Anarkia: (Greek) lacking a king. Anarchy means lack of a government. It does not imply mayhem. An anarchistic society is more likely to be peaceful than one ruled by either Jerry Falwell or Vladimir Lenin. Government is often little more than deadly force institutionalized. Most government is not legitimate. Didn't your parents teach you that violence rarely ever solves anything?
