    Guy Fawkes, Ron Paul and Theocracy

    Oh, sweet irony...

    that Libertarians are choosing Guy Fawkes as the symbol of their movement. Guy Fawkes wanted to blow up Parliament so that he could replace the constitutional monarchy with a theocracy, centered on the Catholic church.

    What a coincidence: Ron Paul wants a theocracy too:

    "The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers...The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian yet religiously tolerant America, with churches serving as vital institutions that would eclipse the state in importance." - Dr. Ron Paul
