Everyones belief system impacts the way they look at the world. I don't mean to insult your world view in any way. Radar on the other hand is violating a key part of the belief system he claims to adhere to. He is always an over the top, in your face, libertarian but suddenly he has revealed that he believes property rights are a gift from the state. The reason I twisted his tail on atheism is because as an acedemic question, I asked him point blank in an earlier thread where natural rights come from in a Godless universe. There is probably an answer but he didn't have it. Natural rights are a basic foundation of libertarianism. It now appears to me that he doesn't believe that man has any rights not granted by the state. That makes him a Statist not a libertarian.
