IN HOUSE, A BAND OF NEW REBELS

Chinks in the GOP armor are starting to appear. Might we find enough discord to persuade some of these Republican rebels to refuse to certify the commander in thief? Kirk (pro-environment newbie mentioned at the end) sounds especially promising:

IN HOUSE, A BAND OF NEW REBELS

Republicans who are standing up to Bush range from conservatives to moderates.

1. Tancredo gives Libertarians a bad name

There's no question that a public rift with a Republican president is a tough career move for any aspiring GOP lawmaker. But for Mr. Tancredo, who came to the House after running a libertarian think tank in Golden, Colo., standing up for ideas is what politics is about - and for him, no policy is more vital than controlling borders and ending the "cult of multiculturalism" that sees the US as "groups of victimized classes."

There should definitely be a distinction between left libertarians (anarchists, libertarian socialists, anarchosyndicalists, etc.,) the middle-of-the-road libertarians (the LP) and the right-wing whacko libertarians who are not libertarian about anything at all, except money, and are right-wing social authoritarians, like Mr. Tancredo, anarchocapitalists and neo-liberals.

What the hell kind of Libertarian has at the top of his or her agenda: "ending the cult of multiculturalism?" That's for the cultural supremacist fascists, not libertarians.
