Both programs are authoritarian, Bush/neocon and the socialists. Both use
the inherent coercive power of the state to force individuals into heavily
restricted lifestyles.

The radical left wants a nanny-state while the radical right wants a
christian-state. The majority of us reject both as we see that both lead
to an authoritarian/dicatatorial society at extreme odds to our charter.

I'd be an expat.

I'm with curly. Call me an atheist Libertarian patriot.

"atheist" is inconsistent with libertarian.

You can be an agnostic and a libertarian but atheists claim
an unprovable knowledge (the non-existence of a god).

Evidently you don't comprehend atheism. Most atheists just don't give a
**** about god one way or the other. While agnostics stumble and
religionists fiddle with their rosaries we are busy with life.

Neither God nor religion are required for libertarianism. Silly concept
actually.
