LOL! I love that term "small l Libertarian"...just another term for someone perpetually pi$$ed off about something and want a better term to call them self then "sourpuss".

I remember some years ago that Professor Walter Williams addressed a Libertarian Convention in a respectful; but very insightful way. When he was asked -at the conclusion of his speech- to consider running for office on the Libertarian ticket, he gently declined with the following explanation.

Libertarians, Williams observed, have wonderful sentiments on many of the topics dear to Conservative hearts; however, it is the Libertarian "all or nothing" approach to politics that would prevent him from accepting the invitation to be on their ticket. He wryly stated that "all or nothing" people generally end up with nothing.

Did you know that Jim Robinson has endorsed the small-l libertarian Republican Liberty Caucus and allows them to host their forum here on FR?

"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." --Ronald Reagan in an interview published in Reason (July 01, 1975)

I wouldn't exactly call Reagan "someone perpetually pi$$ed off about something and want a better term to call them self then "sourpuss"."
