I left the democrats 18 years ago, bypassed the statist republicans, and went right to the small "l" libertarian political philosophy

I'll keep an open mind with Beck (esp. after dedicating an entire show to Hayek's "Road to Serfdom")

As usual, the Feds were late to the game with their Civil Rights act of 1964 (signed by a southern democrat, no less), thus proclaiming themselves to be the great emancipators once again. So now, thanks to our benevolent masters, we still have no freedom of association.

To the article's point, I'm glad to see people continuing along the path to freedom by addressing the civil liberties part. To me, freedom is an absolute. One is either free, or not free. Demanding freedom and liberty for one's self while imposing tyranny on others, is self defeating. Take the AZ law, for instance. This issue hits close to home for many of the newly baptized freedom/liberty minded Tea Party folks. They would rather see my freedom imposed upon by having a fellow American who's only authority is derived through the barrel of a gun demand that I prove my citizenship. I should never be forced to do that (unless I'm coming back into the country, perhaps). And the notion that the police need probable cause? They will find a way to find it if they want to see my papers. ( unfortunately, it is already happening -http://www.checkpointusa.org/blog/index.php )
My solution is along the civil liberties path, and very simple. Eliminate welfare, end that horribly expensive failure known as the war on drugs, and streamline the immigration process (no country just lets people in, but neither are their immigration processes as cumbersome or expensive as the U.S.)
Again, one is either free, or not free. There is no in between.
