“Yes I do. The libertarians have a party.”

“liberatarian” is a political philosophy, not a political organization.


“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

What would you guys do without that meager 1975 quote when Reagan was being interviewed by libertarians and trying to woo them to the GOP, the rest of the interview was not so flattering as that vague line.
