But for now let me conclude by saying that the Movimiento Libertario is living proof that an uncompromising, principled, morally centered libertarianism can attract many people in a relatively short time, in countries that had never heard of our philosophy before. And that perhaps the strongest factor that motivates us is that we KNOW that we can change sufficient minds in Costa Rica so that we will achieve liberty in our lifetime!

But what about the "New Tone"?
This guy obviously doesn't understand politics! I thought it took YEARS of incremental, sloooooooowly EKED out victories to even get a hearing??

He does have a point about "Proportional Representation", though.

The Founders, fearing the influence of Partisan Politics, made no provision for Proportional Representation, preferring instead a "winner-takes-all" system. Unfortunately, that System has degenerated into a Two-Party Brawl, in which real Constitutionalists receive little true Representation -- just "Winners" who happen to wear their "Republican Team" letter jacket.

Costa Rica, being Proportional in representation, gives 10% of its Congressional Seats to the 10% Libertarian Vote... a base to build upon.

Costa Libertaria --- Definitely a place to watch in the future. On the downside, the Tax Laws take 50% of your money, and the Government Inflation takes another 18%. OUCH!! On the upside, the Gun Laws are already more Libertarian than the USA's, and the Libertarians are gaining in many other areas, as well...

As Drudge says, this story developing hot...

A key is proportional representation, it appears.
