First on Jim Craven's apologies: Don't bend over backwards, Jim. I enjoyed your tirade immensely. Right on! Secondly: It should be a consolation that libertarianism f.inst. in Europe is a non-significant phenomenon (does it have any punch ANYWHERE outside the U.S.?). Market liberalism, yes, but not the crackpot U.S. "libertarianism". Here in Norway the stably tiny group that professes to be libertarians consists of a few young, yuppie- or nerdiness-projecting conservatives with zero popular appeal. But even those are social democrats compared to the uebermenschy gun-toting heinleinian U.S. type.
