Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!

People can call themselves anthing they want to. Libertarians agree to sentence number two. It's just some of the causes that are championed are not up to snuff.

But I don't want to start a thread pitting the "jack booted statist thugs" against the "dope smoking cop hating pervert liberdopians".
Smokey Backroom, anyone?

Thanx 4 your summary, but it seems libertarianism and a republic are at cross-purposes. Isn't libertarianism merely an anarchy?
