From my experience, this guy is typical of “libertarian” atheists and new agers. His absolute hatred for religious freedom (centered around the respect for human life and moral conscience) is right up there with the Soviets and Chi-coms. Which is why I can not support libertarians into power.

Sane libertarians who understand and respect the constiution could disassocate themselves from these social radical atheist anti-constitution hatemongers. But they do not. They got the ideal of the founder’s individual economic freedom but totally missed the constitution’s design of individual social liberty. What a waste.

What do you think I've been trying to do on this thread? I've been pointing out how their "philosophy" is not libertarianism but a mish mash of things based on personal bias. (You are correct that it seems to boil down to a hatred for God.) It isn't even logical or internally consistent. I put them firmly on the left with those that mis-call themselves "liberal".

I consider myself a Christian libertarian. I know where our rights come from and I fully understand the dangers of government. It is others who don't bother to think too deeply about the inherent contradictions and inconsistencies in the positions of these so-called "anarchists" or "left libertarians" or "libertarian socialists" that lump them in with rightists who want small government. Some of those people may call themselves libertarians. They're stupid for doing that if they are rightists because it is self-defeating.

My preferred word would be "liberal", but the left has largely destroyed that.
