There’s a panel discussion tonight on John Stossel’s program on the topic, “Just what is a libertarian?” Prominent libertarians including P.J. O’Rourke and David Boaz of Cato will offer answers to that question.
My own quick answer would rely on the Cato Institute’s motto: advocacy of individual liberty, limited government, free markets and peace.
Still, tune in and see what the panelists have to say. Some of those who are critical of libertarians don’t really know what libertarians believe, and in any event, some critics are the same people who have wrecked our economy while regulating and meddling in others’ lives whenever possible.
For more, see Stossel.
