The fact is that it is not a coincidence. The indoctrination of cult members is so effective that it is almost frightening. Compare the principles on which America was founded with those that exist in the cult of the socialistic welfare state. If you are ever in doubt as to whether a person is a member of the cult, there is one sure-fire way to find out. This is one of the distinguishing characteristics between libertarians, on the one hand, and conservatives and leftists on the other.
Libertarians have a fierce commitment to reality.
They see the world for what it is. For example, they see the war on drugs and all of the murders, muggings, robberies, and thefts it has generated, not to mention the increase in drug abuse. The denial of reality is still not the worst part of the socialistic welfare state. No, the worst part is the kooky and bizarre behavior in which conservatives and leftists have engaged, in large part as an integral part of their denial of reality. Perhaps that's because the behavior of the Heaven's Gate members didn't quite match the kooky and bizarre behavior of the members of the socialistic welfare state.
