If those NC Republicans are being honest about using 2014 as a way to find out who needs ID... that's the way to go about these. By I'm not a trusting man when it comes to these kinds of things so I say they are guilty until proven innocent in this case.
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.Since when is Christianity identified with libertarianism? Most of the people considered the founding Parents of libertarian philosophy, with the exception of Isabel Paterson, were atheists or agnostics, Rand being the most vocal example of this. And Anarchism I would say is neither left nor right.

Anarchism is more left-wing than right-wing. I mean, we're all socialists and we all advocate the abolition of private property.

And all other anarchists spend a lot of time trying to distance ourselves from them since, well, they're not really anarchists. They oppose the state, sure, but that's not all there is to anarchism. Plus, rather than merely eliminating the state, the privatize the state, even by their own definition of state.
The moral here is: Ron Paul fans say the darndest things.

Since the first couple centuries AD. More recently and relevantly (1950's Latin America), liberation theology, an attempt to return to political decentralization of the early church.
Like I said, depending on who and when you ask, Christianity can hit anywhere on that chart.
That's called Christian Dominionism
. It's not exactly representative of the belief as a whole.

Obama, Hagel, Kerry, Napolitano, Lew, Holder, and several Congressmen.
