Fox Business Channel, a newer cable channel, is taking a libertarian tack, as the liberal Huffington Post notes in a story entitled, Are Libertarians a Political Force?.
Fox is no small enterprise, and committing one of its channels to a libertarian-leaning message shows how influential libertarian ideas are. The ideals of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peaceful relations abroad have had their ups and downs. They are, however, ideals that offer people better lives at a better standard of living than any political alternatives.
One will still meet people here or there who find some of these ideals strange, or which to ridicule those who hold them. No matter — the best of America’s past has rested, and her bright future will rest, on these beliefs.
