    How exactly does that line up with free or libertarian ideals?
    I guess killing government officials is it?

    What I find funny about it is that most of the kids that don the masks and march in the streets are atheists that HATE all even semi-religious people.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    Wow, if that wasn't putting word in my mouth, then I don't know what is...

    I'm not embracing anyone. I meant exactly what I said.

    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    +1 This. Regardless of what drove his actions (replacing one theocracy for another), he and the others involved in the "Gunpowder Plot" were expressing their dissent and seeking political change. In Guy Fawkes time, violent revolution was the only possible means of expressing dissent. While I don't hold out much hope, I certainly pray that we don't return to that.
