pre-empt her from establishing her libertarian credentials

If she did that, FR would be filled with enough anti-Palin vitriol to melt the server into a puddle of slag.

Conservative, Libertarian, Liberal, Progressive... these are just words.

The Left is neither "liberal", nor "progressive". They are authoritarian, collectivist and regressive. They hijacked good names.

Also if folks get the impression that "Libertarians" are only about drugs and kookiness, they are wrong. The current "Libertarian" party may be a sorry bunch, but it doesn't change a bit of Libertarian values which are heart and soul of America and Conservatism.

To quote Ronald Reagan:

"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.

I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories.

The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is."
