Libertarians are not afraid to call something what it is. That's the liberal's (excuse me, progressive's....er um can call anyone anything can we?)

Purple ink is the new red ink don't ya know.

It's not the rush to label that you really hate, not that we are rushing (omg) to do so, but your complete unwillingness to do so at all is just another sign of cultural/moral relativism. Even Bill Marher would look at you as ridiculous.

You're confusing a cultural phenomenon (aka political "correctedNess") with party affiliation and political theory.

I'm willing to have our government officials "profile" individuals, using a whole host of behavioral clues, in order to identify crime, capture suspected criminals, and prevent crime. But I'm not in favor of "profiling" by skin color, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, language, nationality....or group "affiliation". That doesn't work for cops on the beat, TSA agents at an airport, or IRS agents screening tax exempt organizations.

What you see as Relativism (and use like a dirty word), I see as a new reality, with a different norm. Instead of a perpetual War on Global Terrorism, without land borders or formal governments, we need to ID individuals, using their behaviors as predictive warnings.
