Sanford is in favor of teaching “intelligent design” as science in public schools (see e.g. his interview with David Stanton on Newswatch – WIS – TV – January 29, 2006). Fuck him.

Left - Authoritarian! We must all make this world; the needs of all, over the needs of one!
-
the founding fathers were on point, they knew the dangers of centralizing power - with a weak central govt and strong states, people can vote with their feet - if michigan is a welfare state and taxes the productive, the productive can walk to texas
-
we can no longer be the worlds policemen - right or wrong, it really doesn't matter - we're broke, so we need to close the 700 military bases in foreign countries, end the fed, eliminate the dept of education (the worst flop and boondoggle of all time), and decrease the central govt

Sort of an old comment you've stumbled upon. I no longer care to call myself neolibertarian or even libertarian anymore. I now believe libertarian, conservative, liberal, centrist, etc. is all fluff.
I now simply call myself an Individualist, as opposed to Collectivist, which seems to be the most popular ideology today.

How do you differentiate neo-libertarianism from plain old libertarianism?
-
I don't think social issues are going to matter to the GOP base in 4 years.... when Obama bankrupts us.
-
Worry not, he denounced Bilderberg when I last checked and even denounced McCain's amnesty apporoach.
-
I'm worried about Sanford's pro-McCain and pro-Bilderberg approach.

"Neo-libertarians are to libertarians as neoconservatives are to conservatives"
Essentially. But we are not synonymous with neocons. Just like how Third Way adherents are the neocons of the Democratic Party.
"...military adventurism @ taxpayer expense."
It is not "military adventurism", it's defense. Ever watch Team America? Well it's explained pretty well in that movie (Trey Parker is a registered LP member btw), I'm a dick, anti-war people are pussies, and terrorists are assholes.
I campaigned and voted for Ron Paul when I lived in S.C. I'll keep my eyes on Sanford. He needs to keep his distance from the GOP establishment.

Republican compromise over the decades have brought to the point we are today. When good compromise with evil, evil wins. And when evil compromises with good, evil still wins. You can compromise tour way to tyranny. But you will never compromise your way to liberty.
The only Republican worth a dime is Ron Paul.
