Libertarian values
I would have to say that (as you have see from my postings here on my blog right from the beginning in my Welcome Posting), for the most part, I am more Libertarian than anything else available these day in our country. And that bent is getting stronger and stronger day by day.
n. 1. a person who believes in the doctrine of the freedom of the will
2. a person who believes in full individual freedom of thought, expression and action
3. a freewheeling rebel who hates wiretaps, loves Ron Paul and is redirecting politicsBy Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch (Washington Post article)

It’s about time somebody, in what is considered the mass media, came out with a more rounded and thoughtful coverage of those of us who are sick and tired of the the normal fare from both Democrats and Republicans as they turn on their constituents day in and day out in favor of corporate lobbyists in this country. There is something seriously wrong and it needs fixing.
And it’s certainly better than the propaganda emanating from the rest of the general mass media that ‘reports’ that those who support an alternative to the shifty leanings of Democrats and Republicans are somehow weird and out there?! Hardly the truth.
Both sides of the Isle in Washington D.C. really need a wake up call — Maybe, just maybe, Ron Paul can provide that wake up call.
Must read. Thanks Tween for the link and thanks to Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch from Reason Magazine for writing it.
