Radical Centrism is superior to Libertarianism because : It offers the best available way to combine the strengths of Democrats and Republicans, or others, into workable solutions to problems without compromise of principle . Libertarianism insists on a fixed ideology and has no way to even recognize strengths of Left or Right except insofar as one or the other agrees with Libertarian views, viz, my way or the highway. We agree whole heartedly with Libertarian emphasis on free speech and the value of markets but take a far more holistic view of politics and governance. Political Independents will find Radical Centrism open-minded and useful, and, at the same time, very principled. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- OK, this is more than 25 words, but the statement is economical with words and gets the point across without leaving out anything important. It also clearly differentiates Radical Centrism from Libertarianism. The statement acknowledges Libertarian strengths but shows that in comparison with RC, our view is far better. Billy
