It's a smaller world than you think, and more connected than you want to admit. Libertarians are so friggin' blind to their own success stories. Your world is here and alive and kicking. <br /><br />The small gov/big gov argument is f'ing window dressing. American pride just doesn't want America to LOOK like a third world country on the surface. But you pull the plug on government spending, you get the third world overnight, RP.

The real tragedy of the right is that they allow their intellectual libertarian philosophy of free will and individual responsibility to be twisted into crap policies by corporate money, religious zealots, and political theater. Rupert has been a master at using all of this trash to his own advantage, without your base even recognizing it, and he's finally getting a taste of his own medicine in the UK. <br /><br />The Guardian, the NY Times, and all the people who helped in bringing Rupert to his knees are finally pulling the cover off the utter hypocrisy of your politics. <br /><br />The failure of your policies from top to bottom stands at your feet more than it does at anyone's on the left. You want everyone to take deep moral responsibility for their individual actions, then take it. I don't see a single one of your leadership in government taking responsibility. So yes, you can take your NRA laws, your abortion laws, and your jingoist patriot laws and shove them right back up the right wing arses from which they came.
