"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Libertarianism: Left or Right?
""Is libertarianism of the Left or of the Right? We often avoid this question with a resounding ?Neither!? Given how these terms are used today, this response is understandable. But it is unsatisfying when viewed historically. In fact, libertarianism is planted squarely on the Left, as I will try to demonstrate here." Sheldon Richman asks you to check your notions of "Left" and "Right" at the door."
