As a symbol, it makes a lot more sense than the other two.

Perhaps a jesus fish, a tai ch’i wheel, an amalgam or something non-dissimilar?

1) I don’t know where it originated. I am hosting it locally, but if you click it, it links over to Breitbart (but direct to JPG, not to a page w/ any context).

2) Libertarianism is an end, federalism is a means. Federalism might be better than what we have now, but I no more want a state government telling me how to live my life than I want a central government doing the same.

2. the federalist response: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join,_or_Die

Also, if right-libertarians use the snake, I’m going to start using a mongoose for left-libertarianism! ;]
