On Being Anti-State, Anti-War, and Anti-Bush by Anthony Gregory

But George W. Bush is no Warren G. Harding. On the contrary, he has far surpassed Clintonian governance in devastation and abusiveness. Yet many libertarians continue to believe that one can be anti-state without being thoroughly anti-Bush. For many, the confused orientation comes from attempting to be anti-state without being emphatically anti-war. These poor creatures have lowered their sights and extinguished their lanterns of liberty, have traded their principles for the real or imagined personal security that accompanies shameless loyalty to Republican power.
