And to me, libertarianism is just an euphamism for anarchy.

Never said you did. I was explaining to djtestudo why i beleived that there was very little reaction to your statements. I mean provocative only in relation to other view points here. Most liberals here don't like the idea of a police state, or trust the government that much right now. Your statements clearly conflict with that value set. Many of the conservatives here are liberatarian, which again clearly conflicts with your statements.
Openly declaring that you believe that less freedom is a good thing is clearly meant to garner a response. Do i really need to be saying any of this? It seems rather straightforward to me.
