For CK: 'Neo-Libertarian' Defined

Epicurus

Reasonable
A neo-libertarian is one who fuses neoconservative and libertarian thought together; advocating an aggressive, interventionist foreign policy.

One could not be opposed to the War in Iraq and the Global War on Terror and be a neo-libertarian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolibertarianism

Neolibertarianism is a post-9/11 ideological offshoot of libertarianism that incorporates neoconservative ideas on foreign policy, including the use of preventive military force. It also holds that nearly all other issues should remain in the jurisdiction of local political entities: state/provincial and municipal governments, communities, and individuals. Neolibertarians are sometimes described as "pro-capitalist conservatives" or "libertarians who support the War on Terror." Some libertarian celebrities that fit into this neolibertarian category include talk radio personalities Larry Elder, Neal Boortz, and comedian Dennis Miller.

Neolibertarians generally believe that the drawing of an arbitrary boundary such as a border does not exclude those outside of it from the inalienable human right of liberty. They believe that if someone truly believes that Liberty is a self-evident, inalienable right, that it is immoral to deny it to those who fall outside the jurisdiction of arbitrarily-drawn borders.
 
So bushies are NeoLibertarians ?

I say that if you support the war in Iraq than you are unquestionably a Bushie of the highest degree.

'Neo-Libertarians' should be called capitalist conservatives.

REAL libertarians oppose the use of force in principle; both at home and abroad.
