Reason Magazine Editor-In-Chief Matt Welch
offers a libertarian's critique of Arizona
Senator and Republican Presidential candidate
John McCain.
-----
John McCain is one of the most familiar
figures in American politics, a figure with
great appeal to many. However, his concrete
governing philosophy and actual track record
have been left unexamined. Matt Welch's new
book McCain: The Myth of a Maverick gives a
flesh-and-bones political portrait of a man
onto whom people project their own
ideological fantasies. It is the first
realistic assessment of what a John McCain
presidency might look like.
Welch lays out the root cause of the
senator's worldview: his personal
transformation from underachieving youth to
war hawk, in which he used the "higher power"
of American nationalism to save his life and
soul - Cato Institute

| For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto [Chapter 1] |
 |
In "For A New Liberty: The Libertarian
Manifesto," Murrary Rothbard proposes a
once-and-for-all escape from the two major
political parties, the ideologies they
embrace, and their central plans for using
state power against people. Libertarianism is
Rothbard's radical alternative that says
state power is unworkable and immoral and
ought to be curbed and finally overthrown.
