Libertarianism

A great post on VodkaPundit about Big-L and small-l libertarianism, and doctrinaire libertarians. Make sure to read through the comments which flesh out the discussion nicely. Some ideas for transitioning the Libertarian Party into the world of real-life politics are offered and dissected. I don't hold out much hope, though. Ideological purity is a terrible curse on the party.

There's also a follow-up post here.
