Libertarian Ideology Score-card


Individual Liberty – Both the Bush and Obama administrations
have assaulted our civil liberties with efforts to suspend Habeas
Corpus. Obama now pursuing assassination program against
7:30 – 7:45 American Citizens labeled terrorists and living abroad. Scott Davis

Constitutional Government – The Health Care Mandate,


TARP, Undeclared Wars… and on and on and on.

Sound Money – The Fed has created TRILLIONS of dollars to


fund massive economic intervention, setting the stage for
hyperinflation. GOLD is up 180% in 5 years and recently hit an
all time high.

Free Markets – Government owns or controls over 50% of the


domestic economy (Auto Industry, Home Finance, TBTF banks,
financial & insurance companies, control of Health Care
industry, and soon to be Energy)

Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy – We are still engaged in 2


undeclared wars, threatening Iran with sanctions, committed to
our South Korean allies and we have troops stationed in 140
countries. But don’t call it an empire.
