Your link supports my assertion that the Founders were libertarians, Roscoe.
Freedom, limited government, the rule of law, those are libertarian values, and that's the values we share with the Founders of our nation.
Further quotes from your link-
"...The libertarian goal - and the goal of America's founders - is to limit government to some clearly defined tasks. National defense, but no empire. Provide for public works, but leave the economy to the efforts of a free people. Pass laws that punish people for harming others, but otherwise leave them to their own devices.
The libertarian political program is superior to the conservative one, because it measures its goals against constant and measurable ideas - freedom, limited government, the rule of law. Conservatism is forced to defend whatever the status quo is in society, whether it's a status quo of freedom, or a status quo of tyranny.
