I believe that's called a Libertarian.

There's a ton out there. Me, I'm pretty conservative when it comes to the economy, but extremely liberal when it comes to social issues (just don't touch my gun! ).

it's pretty shocking that libertarians can't win an election. it's probably because of the corporate loving democrats.

They need to concentrate on state and local level offices first.

The proper term is "social libertarian." A "social anarchist" is someone who thinks people should be free to do pedophilia, incest, heroin, cocaine, etc. In a socially anarchist society, a child would be free to purchase amphetamine at the store.

The actual term is "anarcho-capitalist", which is a subgroup within libertarianism.

Not true. An anarchist isn't against authority.

Anarchy is nothing more than lack of government.

And an anarchist can bash Obama and liberals all they want. Doesn't meant they are loyal to the Republicans. It means they don't care for the policies of Obama and the liberals.

One viewpoint is that the world is inherently anarchistic, and that the status quo is a result of it; the biggest thugs with the biggest clubs have all the power.
