Its not a left and a right, its a wheel. Libertarians and authoritarians are at oppisite ends and liberals and conservatives are at oppisite ends.
It is possible to be liberal and authoritarian or liberal and libertarian.
The Bush white house has extremely authoritarian policies with increased police powers, reduced oversight of CIA servalience, increased powers to sieze private personal and business records etc.
His nomination of Alito will serve to take away the rights of the individual.
Our individual rights are being taken away slowly, but steadily.
