Nice article pushing the Libertarian idea.
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/12/28/will-2012-be-libertarian-year/
Lots of Americans oppose free trade and free markets. It takes some knowledge to realize that the seeming chaos masks underlying order. The benefits of freedom are not intuitive, and when you go against people’s intuition, they get upset.
The benefits of freedom are largely “unseen,” as the 19th century French liberal Frederic Bastiat put it. He meant that rising living standards and labor-saving inventions don’t appear to flow from freedom. But they do.
Ron Paul is mentioned.
