This entire piece is just one more Libertarian's rant over the fact that his party can't break 500,000 votes in a national election. Undoubtedly, the country is split right now. About a third of the country would like a government that would be closer to what Mr. Madden desires, but less than half a percent want one that is exactly what he wants. About a third of the country wants a Clintonist government. The other third is too uninformed and apathetic to know or care what we have or where we're going. Because we are split this way, we don't make progress on anything. Even if we were making progress, he would be unhappy because we aren't going to have the government that he wants. We won't have that government because no one wants it.

I'm not a Libertarian, but a TRUE Conservative, and I agree with much of the article. My disagreement comes with talk on drugs and pornography, but it is based on certain stipulatory reasons.

Well, I tried to vote Libertarian last election, but the Thought Police read my brain waves and I got a midnight knock on my door... heh heh. Now the microchip they implanted in my brain forces me to tune into Neil Boortz every day, and to post common-sense replies to the political hypochondriacs who inhabit FR.
On a more serious note, several of the '4 Characteristics of a Police State' were at least as much in evidence at the very founding of our Republic: One-party rule; Federal power of eminent domain; repressive laws concerning pornography and lewd behavior. So are we just now becoming a police state, or have we been one since our very inception?
