Quote:DF has a skewed view of what's happening in the US, not knocking it but Europeans are socialists and the idea that that the US mainstream is liberal is way too easy. In the US, the mainstream is polarized. Moderates are squeezed into an every shrinking middle. Even the neo-Libertarianism movement these days is essentially a new flavor of extreme right wing conservatism. True Libertarians don't try to regulate freedom of thought for example. Ironically the ACLU is at it's heart Jefferson Libertarianism although they've taken the concept and distorted it beyond recognition. If I sound like I have little hope for our country, it's because I don't. I see the US in 100 years as a socialist state run either by a large crime syndicate or by big business.

What your referring to is called populist libertarianism and yes it is where many conservatives have flocked to. The key points however of libertarians has a few stark contrast to neo-conservatism mainly being the objecting to a central bank or a federal reserve at all. Libertarian are also in favor of ending illegal narcotics most favor no federal laws against any substance. Libertarians also take issue with anti discrimination laws on the grounds that private industries under a free market are allowed to opperafe without federal interference. Libertarians support equal marriage rights for all consenting adults.


What I'm trying to say is libertarians are big on live and let live it's why many of them like myself have all but left the GOP. The neo global movement is intertwined In the GOP with Bush and even Regan to a point promoting a NWO. That's the libertarians biggest issue we are very anti-nwo
