	ANARCHISM.net: The New Libertarian Manifesto, by Samuel Edward Konkin III (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		The basic form of new Libertarianism arose during my struggle with the Libertarian Party during its formation in 1973, and Counter-Economics was first put forward to the public at the Free Enterprise Forum in Los Angeles in February 1974.
		Libertarianism asked why society was not libertarian now and found the State, its ruling class, its camouflage, and the heroic historians striving to reveal the truth.
		A “Libertarian” Party was the second counter-attack of the State unleashed on the fledgling Libertarians, first as a ludicrous oxymoron [10], then as an invading army.

	Real World Libertarian - History
		Libertarianism combines the fiscal responsibility that the GOP pays lip service to with the personal choice and freedom that the Democrats claim to support.
		The mission of the Real World Libertarian Caucus is to recruit and support Real World Candidates for public office; to reform the culture and structure of the Libertarian Party to make it more mainstream; and to redefine the public perception of the LP to move public policy in a more libertarian direction.
		In short, the Libertarian Party has spent too much time serving as a philosophical think tank and too little time working on ways to apply its core principle of individual freedom to the real world we live in.

		Libertarians still have many other secession problems to resolve, like what one does about minorities who do not want to secede (especially if they are land owners), and whether secession should be a geographic or a de jure concept.
		It is important to realize that the colonial militias were organized bodies of men, with at least a minimum of training and commanded by officers who frequently had experience in frontier warfare.
		UPR represents a libertarian viewpoint, but I have to say that it seems to be hampered by the personality of its leader and most visible spokesman, who just rubs people the wrong way, as if a libertarian set of positions wasn't enough already.

	Libertarian Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Libertarians reject the view of politics as a one-dimensional spectrum, divided between Democrats representing the left or center-left and Republicans representing the right or center-right.
		To illustrate their view that the one-dimensional view of politics is insufficient to describe the myriad political philosophies held by the public, Libertarians introduced the Nolan chart to communicate their belief that politics is at least two-dimensional.
		AUSTRALIA: Libertarian Party of Australia - founded 2005; distinct from an older "Libertarian Party of Australia" that was organized in the seventies and folded in the late eighties.

		The Real World Libertarian Caucus was a caucus within the Libertarian Party of the United States.

	The Exercise of Vital Powers » A Libertarian President
		His first problem is that he takes the fall of communism and extends that to the triumph of libertarianism.
		I also note he mentions “the unprecedented percentage of the world’s people living in free democratic countries” — something that wouldn’t happen if the pacifist isolationists in the LP were running things in the early 1940s.
		I’ve made similar points in a speech to the Libertarian Party of North Carolina and on my LJ, however his scenario seems a bit contrived.

	Why I left the Libertarian Party and joined the Republicans
		In the real world, direct democracy can be expected to produce large numbers of wrong choices whenever the average voter is unable to become sufficiently informed on complex policy matters to render a correct judgement.
		In the real world, the dedicated group – the legislature – achieve their positions via political parties, to which they owe fealty to a greater or lesser degree.
		Another Libertarian was seeking the party’s nomination, but it was felt that I would be a better representative of the party, particularly in the TV debates which I was assured were almost certain to include the eventual Libertarian candidate.

		The caucus was formed in 2004 at the Libertarian National Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, and disbanded shortly thereafter as several organizers left the LP.
		Many caucus members disagreed with portions of the Libertarian Party's platform, the most frequent targets of these disagreements included sections on foreign policy, military intervention, taxation, drug legalization, and foreign aid.
		Caucus members believed that too many Libertarian Party members focus too much on ideological purity rather than the party's mission of electing Libertarians to public office.

	Libertarian Reform Caucus
		The Libertarian Reform Caucus is a coalition of freedom lovers who want to have an effective libertarian party, one which is designed to win elections now in order to turn the tide from ever increasing statism to more liberty.
		The platform and message of the Libertarian Party is extreme, sacrificing practicality and political appeal in favor of philosophical consistency with a single axiom.
		The Libertarian Reform Caucus is working to reform the Libertarian Party, to turn it into an effective tool for increasing liberty.

		Giving realism a bad name (Charles Krauthammer) (12/1) - Now that the "realists" have ridden into town gleefully consigning the Bush doctrine to the ash heap of history, everyone has discovered the notion of interests, as if it were some new idea thought up by James Baker and the Iraq Study Group.

	Neolibertarian -
		Even the Institute For Justice, effectively the only libertarian public interest law firm (the ACLU is NOT libertarian, it's radical) is forced to spend its time on other issues.
		It's clear that the economic libertarians (social conservatives som etimes call them 'business conservatives' but conservative is a misnomer here) are not nearly as interested in the court nomination battles as the social lefties and the social conservatives.
		It really doesn't make sense that the only limit from those two words is that any property taken must result in something better than that which came before it - better, after all, is defined by the legislatures and not the courts.

	Advocates for Self-Government - Libertarian Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) creates new caucus, organized by Rep. Leon Drolet, for legislators in Michigan who firmly believe in the rights of the taxpayers and are committed to stop tax increases.
		The creation of the caucus comes as no surprise, as state after state around the nation have fallen victim to overspending in their capitals, which has threatened taxpayers with potential tax increases.
		To join the caucus, legislators must sign and keep ATR's Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which is a written promise to their constituents to "oppose any and all efforts to increase taxes." Every state (with the exception of Nebraska) will have both a Senate and House Taxpayer Protection Caucus, consisting of all pledge signers in the legislature.

		In Russia, according to the World Bank, Russia has high levels of corruption, respect for the rule of law is low, Russians have a difficult time expressing their opinions and having influence on their government, and the Russian government is unstable among less than ideal conditions for capitalism to thrive.
		Without the protections of the rule of law and a government whose sole role is to protect life, liberty, and property; anarchy prevails and anarchy, despite what many anarcho-capitalists would like to you to believe, usually leads to the rule of the gun where property rights are non-existant (ie.
		The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which slammed the Bush administration for its allegedly slow and racially insensitive response to Hurricane Katrina, has yet to spend any of the estimated $400,000 that it raised for the victims of the Aug. 29 storm.

		But maybe the real problem wasn't so much the difficulty of choosing a specific person as it was the difficulty of standing by the choice TIME would otherwise have made.
		What I really like, though, is this: "The report then calls for giving schools far more autonomy - making them, in essence, contract schools run by teachers or others who are monitored by districts but not owned by them.
		WORLD Magazine's free speech goals concerning this website parallel the view enunciated by Puritan poet John Milton three and a half centuries ago: "Though all the winds of doctrine were let loose to play upon the earth, so truth be in the field, we do injuriously by licensing and prohibiting to misdoubt her strength.

	Talk:Democratic Freedom Caucus - dKosopedia
		Nonetheless, I believe that a plausible case can be made for placing libertarianism historically on the political “left” and for a libertarian reclamation of “left” values and the “left” banner.
		In its simplest form (as a first order normative doctrine), the libertarian left has two core beliefs: (1) the self-ownership of all agents (individuals and groups) and (2) the egalitarian ownership of all natural resources.
		Libertarians believe the state's role in the economy and society is to ensure a minimum equality of opportunity for all citizens.

	Neolibertarian Ruffini Straw Poll
		I suspect that Sam and I have profoundly different views on how a lot of the world works (though not so profound as my differences with most Democrats) and I might not be able to back him in good conscience down the road.
		I am still tempted to vote Hagel for his experience and his good record on fiscal issues, but I'm really off-put by what appears to be a real lack of interest in democracy-promotion as a foreign policy.
		Rudy doesn't really have very defining domestic stances, and seems to me more like an empty vessel into which socially moderate bloggers inject their complaints about the GOP conservatives.

	RealClearPolitics - Commentary - A Prediction for the 2006 House Contest by Jay Cost
		This redistricting meant that the three net seats they gained in 2004 were not a consequence of a real expansion of their majority, but rather a slight shrinking of their majority counteracted by redistricting.
		If we control for this “inflation,” we would say that, in real terms, the GOP actually has one fewer seat in the 109th than it did in the 108th – 228 “real” seats.
		If Tufte/Jacobson is a completely true theory of how congressional elections operate, and the only reason the real world varies from its predictions is because of random “noise”, a Democratic recapture of the House is improbable but not impossible.

	Of Arms and the Law: Libertarian fusion
		The conservative fusion is more obvious, since it involves an alliance between what are commonly referred to as libertarian conservatives and social conservatives, I'd call the latter rules conservatives, since the emotional underpinning is that the world properly consists of rules and people to enforce them.
		The Republican Liberty Caucus (libertarian wing of the GOP), just had one of its most successful years ever.
		Former Libertarian Party Presidential candidate Ron Paul easily won reelection to Congress with 65% despite being heavily targetted by the Dems for defeat.

		That caucus is the heart and soul of the contemporary Democratic Party.
		If the election is as close as it was in 2000, libertarian voters may make the difference as to who wins in various critical “Battle Ground” states and therefore the presidency itself.
		We stand today at an important electoral crossroads for the future of liberty, and as libertarians our first priority is to promote liberty and free markets, which is not necessarily the same as to promote the Libertarian Party.

		In order to justify the farce that intelligent design is science, Kansas had to corrupt the very definition of science, dropping the phrase ” natural explanations for what we observe in the world around us,” thus unmistakably implying — by fiat of definition, no less — that the supernatural is an integral part of science.
		Then on Aug. 29, as Hurricane Katrina moved out of the area, that levee collapsed and tumbled into their homes, allowing Lake Pontchartrain and a world of misery to pour into the city.
