Aren't the terms "Libertarian" and "Progressive" mutually exclusive of the other? Here is the story the OP is talking about. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/01/ron-paul-ralph-nader-agree-on-progressive-libertarian-alliance/
"Progressives" shouldn't be helped, allied-with, or even allowed to exist.... SHOULD BE DESTROYED!... There is no greater threat to America than "Progressive-ism".
I think this could be a very good thing, if it sails, which it could... Which is not to say it will...
The threat of Al-Qaeda terrorism in the US is like a "pimple on an elephant's ass" compared to the threat of the Democrats and Progressive-ism.
