1. Palin has not one genuine care for what happens to this country. With Libertarians on the rise,
not to mention more or less overt Racism, there's little down-side to being a covert SECESSIONIST, especially when you are being backed by the transnational financial coalition known as Project for a New American Century, who are responsible for eliciting Saudi Arabia's/bin Ladens attack upon the WTC on September 11, 2001, in much the same manner as Palin elicited this attack upon American freedom.

2. Ayn Rand's philosphy followers are actually Objectivists
... who are atheists.

I have NO idea where Libertarian hijack came from.

3. You don't think there's synergy between Secessionists and anti-government Libertarians?
They may not be identical, but they certainly CAN use one another, because they share the characteristic of being motivated against government.

6. Thom Hartmann interviews both Objectivists & Libertarians all of the time. There's probably
some ESSENTIAL differences, but in this day and age of the more or less anonymous internet, almost anyone can USE anyone else who shares relevant traits in regard to whatever issue is at hand.

8. That could well be, but one of my impressions is that any absolutist, e.g. Libertarians, in their
over-simplified insistence that theirs alone is the whole truth, are, because of their belief in God, engaging in blasphemy: I/my (absolutist) understanding of what is right and true = God's will.

I actually have inclinations to agree with some of these people sometimes on some issues, but I deeply and profoundly disagree with absolutism, especially when it gets mixed up with religion. It's VERY dangerous, e.g. the religious forces that provided the political motivation for the invasion & occupation of Iraq.

9. Palin's husband once had deep ties to the separatist movement in Alaska. nt
