two points



   The "rightist' party that many point at as becoming facist in the US is ALSO the party that consistently refuses to disarm the citizenry. That has been the more liberal party that is percieved by many as being more of the people. (wolves in sheeps clothing?)
   The military is made up mainly of minorities.  If the Govt becoame to opressive it could find it had no enforcers.


That said I'm proud to be registered as Libertarian :-)

Off topic ...maybe...maybe not when the Unix community has its own current struggle between extreme left (Stallman) and practical  (Torvalds)
