The Founding Fathers recognized the State as a necessary evil, with its overriding role to be the national defense. The federal government was meant to unite the States through the maxim of E plurubus unum-"Out of many, we are one" (And vice versa). But in the hundreds of years since then, the...

Reflecting back on what Libertarianism is, I came up with this definition: "The conservation and defense of individual liberty in all spheres of social life." Think about it. The political and economic systems are social systems. Yet Libertarianism is not for the benefit of one group over...

Tariffs were the main way. Of course, a tariff can't be too big or it discourages imports, but that's part of the point-it kept government more or less within its Constitutional limits.

EVERYBODY is paying too high of taxes-everyone, except the big corporations and their political buddies in the Republicrat Party. This corporatism is the system that underlies the welfare-warfare state, which is an effective cartel of certain corporate interests with the complicity and...

My definition: Libertarianism is an uncompromising belief in economic freedom, political liberty, and individual rights.

So basically, screwing over four of Ron's opponents? :D

And RP will let them have at it, and then keep on plowing along! :)

So I was thinking that a pro-gun, anti-war, anti-War on Drugs, pro-civil liberties libertarian Democrat could win in certain districts in California, including my own (CA-14). The thing to keep in mind is that most people are Democrats or Republicans because of a few issues, and those issues are...

I would get rid of the Interstate Commerce Clause, the General Welfare Clause, the Supremacy Clause, the Necessary and Proper Clause, the Taxing and Spending Clause, and the Sixteenth Amendment.

So, Ron Paul was succeeded in his district by Tom DeLay in 1984, and when he was reelected in 1996 his district bordered DeLay's. DeLay, the neocon authoritarian Bush/Cheney policy "hammer", was right next to Dr. Paul? Am I missing something here? These two politicians are very different, yet...

Excellent analysis, I agree that this is the major problem facing us.

Simple question. It seems that the Libertarian Party isn't that popular (though that may change). I don't see many changes to the two-party system now, so I think we need to take back both parties.

Coburn and DeMint are farily decent for Senators. Duncan, Flake, and Broun are also not bad.
