I had gotten the impression from other posts of yours that you're more or less libertarian. Guess I was wrong about that?

Point taken.
I am libertarian in some things. Drugs, government oversight and such but really am more of a states rights conservative. I believe that power not enumerated to the Federal Government belong to the states. This was a main point of the Articles of Confederation and was a key basis for the framework of our Constitution. This is what James Madison believed and fought to maintain.
Alexander Hamilton believed the opposite that the government had all powers not denied it by the constitution. With the Republican assendency in the mid 1800's the power of the Federal government was increased to the point where Hamilton would be greatly pleased.
