"Then allow me to restate it somewhat differently. Unlike Rightists, Libertarians are for nearly wanton destruction of the state. While I despise social welfare programs I believe that a free society requires a protective stratum of illiberal supports in order to prevent its conquest from without by barbarians and from within by those who fake anarchy in order to ultimately arrive in a fascist place. The Libertarian positions in a number of key areas, if taken to full fruition, would not permit the orderly reconstruction of the protective stratum of illiberal supports which we have disembowled via a combination of political correctness, assault on traditional societal norms and the weakening of the martial component of our civilization. Libertarian precepts do not address these very real issues except by marginally cohesive theories that depend on an unrealistic degree of homogeneity in core values of the citizenry. There is a role for the state, one a lot smaller than at present, but a lot bigger than the one surmised by Libertarians."

The babblefish translation of libertarianism from an obscure communitarian language.

[GOP_1900AD]

I am more of a Whig than any sort of Communitarian. I am far too supportive of family rights, and parental rights, to ever be accepted by the Communitarians. And I despise humanitarian aid to other countries. The only aid that should be given to other countries is military. Think of me as a large portion of George Washington, with dashes of Jefferson, Franco and Hamilton thrown in the spice things up a bit. In essence, I am a 21st century American aristocratist republican Rightist!
