About Me I consider myself an Edmund Burke conservative, and a Hamiltonian rather than a Jeffersonian, with a streak of small-l libertarianism, particularly on economic issues. I'm an avid reader of history, particularly military history, and intend to bring whatever perspective that reading has brought me to my comments on currents trends and events. I grew up in the small town of Defiance, Ohio and currently reside with my wife and two children in the house at the end of the cul-de-sac, near Miamisburg, Ohio. donsequiturs.typepad.com /about.html   (1046 words)

Reason In books, lectures, and classes at the University of Maryland, he draws on everything from astronomy to medieval history to Murray Rothbard's economic theories to show that Islam is not only compatible with but intimately related to free speech, free religious exercise and free markets. The idea that devout Muslim faith, strict adherence to shari'ah, and even Islamist politics can be compatible with libertarian ideas would have been a tough sell even before the September 11 attacks. On other libertarian ideas beyond market ideas, it depends really on what the issue is and to whom you're speaking. www.reason.com /interviews/minaret.shtml   (1046 words)

American Politics Journal -- The Zebra changes his spots The mushroom cloud of corporate scandal that began with the Enron meltdown is already the biggest and most expensive scandal in human history, dwarfing even that libertarian failure of the eighties, the savings and loans. Classic Liberals didn't grasp the simple fact that raw capitalism is anti-competitive, and money, left to its own paths, accumulates drastically in the hands of a very small elite, and with it, all societal power. You can't have freedom without some measure of empowerment, but libertarians, who lived in dread of "coercion" (which meant taxes, stealing from your employer, and demanding job safety rules) didn't see any possibility that stripping people of their empowerment might result in coercive activities on the part of those few with the power. www.americanpolitics.com /20020701Zepp.html   (1046 words)

The Revolutionary Right - A Libertarian Primer - Part 3a Instead, a Libertarian Constitution, transcending all party loyalties in favor of eternal truths, must fight for acceptance by those who in general are too stupid, or too lazy, or both, to read history and/or understand what they are voting for. These pre-eminent rights are (1) the right of self-determination in each and every decision; and (2) the right to be left alone, free from government intrusion, except if a citizen's action or negligence has caused actual injury to some other citizen, or comprises an actual public nuisance/disorder. It is hoped that one option will be a Libertarian Constitution--of which this is intended as a rough draft--and that it will be approved by at least a plurality of the voters, as being the best available choice. www.mega.nu:8080 /ampp/kirkbros/pg13a.html   (1046 words)

Critiques Of Libertarianism: What's New Keith Ehrman and Dennis Henigan's University of Dayton Law Review detailing the origins, history, and judicial interpretation of the Second Amendment.

History News Network But if we leave aside the influence of anti-Soviet sentiment and simply consider in what direction a radical, contextual-analysis-oriented, secular, individualist, anti-traditionalist, anti-sacrificial libertarian ethic is most naturally developed – it’s left-libertarianism, man. Last year, for her centenary, I wrote about Rand’s legacy for libertarians generally. This year I want to write about her legacy for left-libertarians in particular. hnn.us /blogs/entries/21257.html   (839 words)

Classical Liberals Our site provides an informal examination of the history and ideas of the Classical Liberals, a sort of primer we hope will debunk this pernicious myth and expose those who propagate it as the frauds they are. Today, in the United States, conservatives, reactionaries, "Libertarians" and even the religious right often claim to be the real inheritors of the Classical Liberal tradition, a tradition they insist contemporary liberals have abandoned. A more in-depth look at the classical liberals, the many-faceted political controversies of their time, and their relevance to the present and the future. classicliberal.tripod.com   (839 words)

Amazon.ca: Books: The Libertarian Reader : Classic and Contemporary Writings from Lao Tzu to Milton Friedman That's because libertarianism touches on such important issues as the nature and extent of individual rights, the proper powers of government, and the virtues and shortcomings of the marketplace, and besides, it has tempted many of history's best minds. Moreover, some were avowed opponents of 'libertarianism.' In the 1950's, economist F.A. Hayek deplored those who would assign the 'libertarian' appellation to him. Libertarians particularly those affiliated with the Cato Institute are aligned with the Old Right in an effort to unleash what we might characterize as a 'devolution revolution.' Such a move would effectively restore the 10th Amendment and federalism commensurate with original intent of the U.S. Constitution's framers. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0684847671   (839 words)

Bill's Comment Page Russia's recent history has been, and continues to be, rather traumatic but few events of recent years illustrate that trauma better than the events which commenced one year ago tomorrow. The Isle of Man (IoM) is at last going to equalise the age of consent to comply with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR); however it is debatable whether it will abolish its equivalent of 'Section 28' (known as Section 38 in the IoM) as the ECHR does not oblige it to do so. Having spent most of my teenage years living in the Isle of Man I pay attention to what is going on there and I obviously take an interest in matters as they affect gays, too. billcameron.blogspot.com   (839 words)

The Transformation of Libertarianism? Libertarians believe that history, economics, reason, and the study of human nature indicate that the best results are generated by granting every person the freedom to use his own knowledge and his own resources for his own purposes. Where they [consequentialist libertarians] part company from the moralist libertarian is that they see non-aggression as a general moral principle, one with profound and positive consequences, but not as a moral imperative from which all social and political thought can be derived. But I would not argue that the libertarian ideology could not undergo changes on the margin or in terms of justifications, so the issues raised by R. Bradford are still worth considering. www.libertysoft.com /liberty/features/73symposium.html   (11118 words)

Print Page - How did you find libertarianism? While working with some fellow political science/history graduates in politics, one of my coworkers after a long rant about government and individual liberty looked at me and said, you're really not a Repuplican, you're a libertarian. I don't see any reason a Constitutional Libertarian Minarchy would change, if there were a fair number of libertarians living there; they'd be bound to notice if their Constitution were violated. Although I've always been a strong individualist, I thought of myself as a Republican (from a hometown that is HEAVILY Democrat/liberal area; steel/auto workers union country) when I was just graduating from high school and entering college. forum.freestateproject.org /index.php?board=6;action=printpage;threadid=3941   (141 words)

81 L. Neil Smith has a new one out: \Their Magesties' Bucketeers./ If you've been staying away from Smith because of his libertarianism, you might want to take another look. Smith's alternate history is not completely unimaginable, though I have great doubts about its likelihood. My main complaint is that I think that Smith would claim that libertarianism is still a viable solution for our current society; people today are too ingrained with a thirst for power for this to be true. keithlynch.net /lns/81   (1700 words)

History News Network And just as the logical endpoint of the cycle of economic interventions is complete socialism, so the logical endpoint of the cycle of military interventions is world conquest. Rather, the analogy I was making was between an (imaginary, and to libertarians obviously ludicrous) bad argument against economic libertarianism and an (all too real, and alas, apparently not obviously ludicrous to all libertarians) bad argument against antiwar libertarianism. The analogy I was making was thus not between the case for economic libertarianism and the case for antiwar libertarianism. hnn.us /blogs/entries/6046.html   (1700 words)

Advocates for Self-Government - Libertarian Education Liberty magazine called The Libertarian Idea "a major contribution to the philosophical controversy over libertarianism." The Canadian Philosophical Review described it as a "bold and highly readable book," while The Journal of Politics called it "a major work." The book was republished by Broadview Press in 2001. A native of Minnesota, Narveson is a professor of philosophy at the University of Waterloo, Canada, where he teaches Introduction to Social and Political Philosophy, Business and Professional Ethics, Moral Issues, History of Ethical Theory, Contemporary Ethical Theory, and seminars on moral and political subjects. The 1989 book addresses the questions "Is libertarianism possible?" and "Is libertarianism rational?" It also applies libertarian theory to real-world political issues, including abortion, free speech, education, the War on Drugs, zoning laws, and others. www.self-gov.org /celebrities/jan-narveson.html   (2875 words)

nonstatist.txt This false analogy of libertarianism to fundamentalist appeal to authority (of the Bible) reinforces the insinuation above of intolerance. But the insinuation that libertarianism has "within it" fallacious arguments is itself the fallacy of amphiboly: if it means that fallacies are essential to libertarianism, it is begging the question; if not, it is argumentum ad logicam. I hate it when a net.opponent trots out some bit of tired US history as a most holy of holies, not to be questioned." The US Constitution is irrelevant to Canadians; it does not follow that the intent of those who drafted and ratified the Constitution is irrelevant to its construction. world.std.com /~mhuben/nonstatist.txt   (17716 words)

Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin and the Catholic Worker Movement: Dorothy Day, Prophet of Pacifism for the Catholic Church The authors always emphasize that Dorothy located her pacifism within the vision of Maurin's Christian personalism, "where the decision rested with the individual and was not dependent on historical circumstances" and the profound belief that there was a power beyond history--Jesus Christ. One would wish, however, that American Catholic Pacifism had used the term resourccement instead of suggesting that this was revisionist history. The Catholic Worker declared that even some advocates of active nonviolence took their positions "from an individualism that may err in positing complete liberty as an end in itself." This libertarianism was "contrary to a properly Catholic understanding of both objective morality and the purpose of human freedom." www.cjd.org /paper/pacifism.html   (2951 words)

Amazon.com: The Case for Humanism : An Introduction: Books: Lewis Vaughn,Austin Dacey The Case for Humanism is co-written by two longtime members of organized humanism, whom together cover the history and premises - if not most of the consequences - of humanism; and, while doing so, present a fairly informative account of this vital living philosophy. Clark's point of view is key for humanism because the consequences of believing in libertarianism has resulted in some of the most insidious behavior in society. The Case for Humanism is the premier textbook to introduce and help students think critically about the big ideas of Western humanism--secularism, rationalism, materialism, science, democracy, individualism, and others--all powerful themes that run through Western thought from the ancient Greeks and the Enlightenment to the present day. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0742513920?v=glance   (2541 words)

Jokers to the Right.com: The Legacy of George W. Bush This has been held true by history enough that neocons feel that bringing democracy to the shadows of tyranny, by force if necessary, is of the utmost importance. While history will truely judge the Bush presidency, and the future of Iraq is still clouded by violence and uncertain government, one legacy of Bush that can be determined is the failure of neoconservativism. It seems that makes neoconservatism juxtaposed with libertarianism, and that may be true, though hawkish libertarians like Glenn Reynolds support the president and Iraq. www.jokerstotheright.com /2006/04/legacy-of-george-w-bush.html   (826 words)

Jonathan Andreas' Response to David Friedman's Critique of Mike Huben's Anti-Libertarian Faq DF goes on to say that libertarianism, "has a historical track record unmatched by any alternative in recorded history." However, I still have yet to see a working example of a libertarian society that is more than an overly nostalgic interpretation of some pre-industrial society. There are more recent (and close to home) examples of societies in the history of the American West that had no government expenditure on law enforcement, with high levels of rights and property rights protection. DF goes to the heights of absurdity to claim that libertarians achieved the "abolition of slavery, the institution of large scale free trade, the destruction of guild restrictions on employment--most of the progress of the 19th century". world.std.com /~mhuben/andreas.html   (5723 words)

revolution: militia Some of the modern militia movement is rooted in libertarianism; some in conservatism; a few in fringe groups such as survivalists and racists. For most of human history and pre-history, countries had no standing armies, but instead relied on all able-bodied males to take arms when necessary to defend the community. The media stereotype of a militia, however, only serves to keep people from understanding why it's a good idea to have as many checks as possible on the power of government. www.boogieonline.com /revolution/firearms/militia   (258 words)

Gentles reveals the Levellers' pragmatism and their shift from the realistic to the quixotic, as democratic attitudes were subsumed under suspicion of all political power, and as the franchise gave way to libertarianism and calls for decentralization.
