Less than a generation ago, against considerable scorn, a major party candidate defended the confident message of limited government and free choice through markets.
He defeated an incumbent president, and brought his party to control in the Senate.
That party has since drifted far from these sound principles, and in the years ahead, there may be fewer voices to advocate wise policy.
No matter — the message of individual rights, free markets, and peace is the message that libertarians defend to this day, with confidence and conviction.
