Libertarians and Conservatives: Allies, Not Enemies

by Nelson Hultberg | AFR.org

The modern libertarian movement in America was launched in 1957 by Ayn Rand with her heroic novel, Atlas Shrugged. Using its radical advocacy of capitalism as their rallying cry, libertarians have, over the past 55 years, built a powerful political movement upon Rand’s ideas and vision. It is a very persuasive cause they have fashioned. But, unfortunately, its philosophical base contains flaws, which (if not corrected) will doom libertarianism to being nothing more t

What I would like to see more of here on the DP

Sometimes I look at the Top Forum Topics on the DP and it reads like people said, "Oh, here's some bad news - I'll go post it on the Daily Paul!"

What I would like to see more of is:

News about what you're doing - in your garden, on your farm, at your GOP / Libertarian / Democratic Party meeting, what your kids are learning, what you're learning, what you heard at the grocery store, what you observed in your neighborhood. Not just bad stuff - good stuff too!

Does Rand Paul Deserve the Benefit of the Doubt?

Let’s be clear. Rand Paul is almost certainly the best sitting United States Senator (well, perhaps second best, as the Senator from Washington D.C. doesn’t get a vote, and can therefore do the least harm). This of course isn’t saying much when talking about the psychopathic, ignorant control freaks that largely populate the U.S. Senate. In contrast, Rand seems to be more reasonable and often falls on the right side of many issues.

Generation of War: 'Wartorn' showing

FG_AUTHORS: yaliberty.org

Wartorn On March 20th, the ten year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, the Washington State University YAL chapter hosted a showing of the HBO documentary "Wartorn."

We also created a Facebook page for the event. Roughly 20 people attended the event, which was less than we expected.

From this we learned that any

FG_AUTHORS: yaliberty.org

In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq, Young Americans for Liberty from Mesa Community College advocated for the end to not only the war on "terror," but for an end to all unconstitutional wars.

Along with our fantastic Generation of War activism kit, we constructed two life-sized cutouts of former President George W. Bush and President Barrack Obama as Grim Reapers of sorts (eerie images  to say the least); needless to say, we received

Memorial

We had a lot of success with our Generation of War activism here at the University of Mississippi-Gulf Coast Campus. We decided to create a cost of war memorial in which we highlighted the human and financial costs of our destructive foreign policy. We also set up an information table with constitutions, philosophy palm cards, cost of war palm cards, and more. Everything was up for over a week as we wanted to be sure everyone on campus had a chance to see. This gave our
