“Libertarian ideas fascinate me. They make conservatives and liberals angry in different ways. They confront Republicans and Democrats with their own inconsistencies. At their best, libertarians are fierce thinkers and debaters but kind of heart and spirit. They cast aside violence, extol freedom, and demand self-responsibility.” — Allan Saxe, Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Texas), June 29, 1996 “You have to respect Libertarians for their respect of principle and ideas.” — Newsday (New York), October 20, 1998 “Libertarianism is on the rise.” — Hillary Johnson, Worth Magazine, November 2000 “Political libertarianism is the cutting-edge politics of the time…” — The Village Voice, New York, February 12, 1996 “Among the adversaries of Big Government on the American scene, few have proven more principled than the libertarians.” — Pat Buchanan, WorldNetDaily.com, January 22, 2002 “Basically, Libertarians are all about individualism and letting people get on with their lives with as little intereference as possible. I can dig it. My problem with Republicans is their rather selfish, intolerant, cavalier philosophy; the main drawback for Democrats is their general failure to grasp reality, an overzealous idealism, you could call it. The attraction of Libertarianism is it seems to be a more practical, intelligent alternative to these two extremes.” — D. Allan Kerr, Seacoast Online (New Hampshire), September 16, 2004 “The Libertarian philosophy advocates the old Jeffersonian ideal of ‘That government is best which governs least.’ ” — The San Bernadino County Sun (California), January 4, 2004 “Libertarianism is gaining in popularity.” — Jonah Goldberg, National Review Online, June 16, 2003 “The core divide in American politics now is not between liberals and conservatives, or between capitalists and socialists. It is between libertarians and communitarians.” — E.J. Dionne, The Washington Post, May 19, 2003 “Principled, focused, and idealistic, Libertarians have a simple agenda: small government, freedom, personal responsibility. Many of us accept these basic concepts, but have become accustomed to government handouts. The Libertarians keep us aware that liberty, not high-tax serfdom, was once the American dream.” — Barbara Anderson, The Sun (Lowell, Massachusetts), April 7, 2002 “The libertarian philosophy has been around from the time God gave Moses the Ten Commandments telling the world that it is wrong to lie, steal, and cheat. If every individual followed the libertarian philosophy of not initiating force on others, there would indeed truly be world peace.” — Howard J. Blitz, The Yuma Sun (Arizona), January 7, 2004 “Libertarianism is simplicity itself. It proceeds from a single, quite beautiful, concept of the primacy of individual liberty that, in turn, infuses notions of free markets, limited government, and the importance of property rights.” — Susan Lee, The Wall Street Journal, February 17, 2003 “Libertarians believe in minimal government and maximum individual freedom.” — W. James Antle III, IntellectualConservative.com, October 15, 2003 “The revival of libertarian ideas in many countries of the world reflects a growing disdain for government, yes, a loss of faith in the capability of governments to solve major problems of modern societies.” — Ronald Meinardus, The Korea Times, November 7, 2003 “Libertarians believe in small government, reduced taxes, and the U.S. Constitution — the Constitution as written by the Founding Fathers.” — Danville Register & Bee (North Carolina), May 19, 2000
