Libertarians
Interesting snippet over at the
Michael Medved fan site:
bq. And let me state emphatically: libertarian principles are mostly great. I think the Libertarians are what the GOP used to be. The GOP is in many ways what the Dems were in the 40's, as the Democrats are now what the socialists used to be in the 40's. I don't like the trend: it means we're moving in a leftward direction.
bq. I think it was PJ O’Rourke who said, "America was not founded so we could all be better. America was founded so we could all be whatever we dang well pleased." Those values belong in the GOP.
bq. The Libertarian Party, as a political gadfly, is like 'free' porn: ultimately an exercise in frustration, onanistic in its achievements, and somebody somewhere has to pay for it.
