What is Christian Libertarianism?

Chalcedon president, Mark Rushdoony, on Christian Libertarianism? Is it a contradiction of terms?

The Founders basically gave us a decentralized, federated, constitutional, libertarian republic. Unfortunately, as Benjamin Franklin feared, we did not keep it.

thankyou for posting. I struggle to find other Christian libertarians like myself.

The view that individuals hold the highest authority and the view that God holds the highest authority are compatible as God gave each individual to himself, the individual could therefore be seen as the highest material authority and God as the highest moral and spiritual authority

Ayn Rand is the example in the US of why "Christian Libertarianism" is obviously nonsense. She showed Buckley and the others that Libertarianism didn't require a belief in God. In fact, in some sense, you were more free if you were an athiest libertarian because all you have to do is subscribe to your own individuality and didn't have to follow any commandments of any sort. Indeed, this was concretized by the fact that Ayn Rand is remembered in the US and directly associated with libertarianism today and everyone has completely forgotten Buckley and anyone else. Not that you need any of this to understand that the two are directly opposed, Christianity is the truth from God while libertarianism is an -ism (a philosophy). Also, this guy's dad wasn't a Christian, he was a sectarian like him.
