Sometimes labels do matter--truth in advertising

...I'm hardly attacking you Mike, but I will continue to ask that you defend your peculiar take on libertarianism (small L), which I find to be highly selective and arbitrary. Hegemonic Imperialism, expanding the scope and reach of the Federal government, and codifying descrimination into a constitution are all directly at odds with every interpretation of the libertarian movement, on the Right or Left. You endanger your libertarian 'cred' by openly supporting an administration that advances all these abominations, all the while running up massive deficits, AND promoting the further integration of religion and politics. You're entitled to your convictions Mike, no one questions that, but a little truth in advertising goes a long way...
