Libertas, you need to say how an anarchist can support Republican candidates.

I support candidates that I believe will improve my country. I don't support Republicans or Democrats, just good principled people.

...

What?  So, you want to improve a country you don't believe should exist?  I'm really not following you here, but true anarchism believes in a state-less society...which once again begs the question why would you support Republican candidates?

I'm not even going to address the impracticality or evil of anarchy.

Changes need to be made incrementally to weaken the federal government, decentralize power, and maximize individual liberty. There is no disconnect here, so please don't let Joe convince you that there is.

So you are an anti-federalist.  I find little relation between say...paleoconservatism and anarchism. 

You can't just call yourself an anarchist if you favor "small government".  An anarchist favors "no government".  That is a pretty huge disconnect.

Um, no. Please stop misrepresenting my positions.

haha, alright.  I'm simply stating that you oppose the Federal government, which would (in theory I suppose) make you an anti-Federalist...

Are you a Christian?

I would say I'm a deist.  I like Christianity, I was a Christian, but I can't say I believe Jesus was the Messiah.

I favor decentralization in all things, so certainly I oppose the existence of the federal government.

Why don't you believe?

I don't know.  It was a gradual build up of doubt I suppose.  In my mind, I don't want to be led by a religion.  Religion was never all that important to me, I suppose I just grew out of it.

Anyways, perhaps you view it differently, but in my mind if you oppose a central government and favor state governments (do you favor state governments?) that makes you an anti-federalist.  

Of course, my opinion doesn't mean much.  You could just as easily call me a socialist because I believe in more regulation.
