Entry: Libertarianism's Divergent Roads Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/libertarianisms_divergent_roads#29639 Post contents: I think RP is at his best when he uses the Constitution to support libertarian positions. Thankfully, that connection helps to makes his libertarian message a popular one. There is a lot of good work that comes out of the Cato Institute but I do believe that they like many before them have suffered from the proximity to power. The only way to create meaningful "change" is through a truly grassroots effort like Ron Pauls. The "mangerial elite's" power has grown by creating and constantly growing a culture of dependency and entitlement. Paul's loss has more to with the elite defending this culture and their perogatives than with John McCain. Ultimately that culture and their power is what every libertarian elitist, libertarian populist, Constitutionalist, old rightist... must battle against. Sent at: 2008 12 02
