A while back, there was talk on certain libertarian-leaning web sites, like Reason and Tech Central Station, about the rise of the curious creatures known as South Park Republicans, of which South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were the poster children. South Park Republicans were the younger, hipper Republicans -- ones who grokked the importance of small goverment and free markets, but also valued free minds and social liberalism.

Except now, times are a'changing. The Republicans have been steadily alienating their classically liberal would-be allies with their big and bigger government programs and relgious social agendas. Now folks in South Park are looking for a new party.
