Yeah, you are, and I don't think there is a single person on this forum that buys it. You can brand yourself with whatever label you desire, but that doesn't mean you subscribe to the accepted ideals of that organization.

American foreign policy should seek an America at peace with the world and the defense -- against attack from abroad -- of the lives, liberty, and property of the American people on American soil. Provision of such defense must respect the individual rights of people everywhere.

The principle of non-intervention should guide relationships between governments. The United States government should return to the historic libertarian tradition of avoiding entangling alliances, abstaining totally from foreign quarrels and imperialist adventures, and recognizing the right to unrestricted trade, travel, and immigration.

You are a neocon, plain and simple, and you subscribe to an interventionist policy that aligns directly with the ideals and goals of PNAC. No genuine libertarian supports that, period. You're doing nothing more than wrapping yourself in the banner of another organization that receives more support than the one with ideals you subscribe to.
