Libertarian on Townhall

  It’s a challenge to be a libertarian in Washington because you have to swim against the tide.

• The Libertarian Response to Terrorism Mon Apr 22
  Daniel J. Mitchell
  Yes, I’m disgusted by the leftists in the press who obviously hope for a “right wing” link any time there’s an attack. These are the same journalists, by the way, who weren’t even slightly bothered by Barack Obama’s association with Bill Ayers, a real-life terrorist who bombed the NYC police department, the U.S. Capitol, and the Penta ... more
• False Alarm: The Libertarian Revolution Has Not Begun Sat Apr 20
  Daniel J. Mitchell
  As you can see, 24 IRS employees were just arrested for stealing. But what about the other 105,976 bureaucrats at the Internal Revenue Service who seize our money under the implied threat of violence? Shouldn’t they be arrested for stealing from us as well? ... more

  Kristan Hawkins
  At this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), I was invited to participate on a panel called "The Future of the Movement: Winning with Generation X/Y."

• Toll Roads and Double Taxation: The Left and Libertarians Converge Mon Apr 1
  Rachel Alexander
  Tolls are inherently inefficient. There are reports that 80 percent of the money raised from tolls goes to the company managing the toll roads. Up to one-third of the revenues goes to tollbooth operators. Even many of the toll roads that have electronic pass options still have a costly tollbooth option. ... more
• Drug Dealing and Legal Stealing Wed Nov 21
  Jacob Sullum
  At the Cosmopolitan, a luxury hotel and casino in Las Vegas, "just the right amount of wrong" is the naughty fun you get for $200 a night. At the $57-a-night Motel Caswell in Tewksbury, Mass., just the right amount of wrong is what the federal government says it needs to take the business from the family that has operated it for 57 years. ... more

• Motivating Youth to Watch Presidential Debates Mon Oct 8

  Hit the gym; grab dinner with friends; build a bonfire. These are three evening activities I prefer to watching presidential debates—and I am a political commentator. Few young people watch presidential debates and I understand why. ... more
• Why This Ex-Libertarian is Voting Mitt Romney Mon Sep 17
  Wayne Allyn Root
  If Obama is re-elected on November 6th, you haven’t seen anything yet. Because the first Obama term was just a small taste of things to come. Without ever having to answer to voters again, he will be free to be his REAL radical self. ... more
• Three Views on Same Sex Marriage Mon May 21
  Mike Adams
  A lot of cultural commentators are confused these days. They believe that people’s views on same sex marriage are solely a reflection of their religious beliefs. Nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, some things could be further from the truth – like saying that Al Sharpton has integrity or that Dan Savage has class. But you get the point. The same sex marriage debate is about politics. ... more
