You can get Republicans and Democrats anywhere. Say what you will about Fox News, so far it is the ONLY news outlet for mainstream libertarian views.
I really liked watching John Stossel live tonight after the SOTU. I enjoyed the comparisons between Dems and Repubs and the basic message: don't get excited. They all say the same thing, and then they all go right on to expand the government and spend more money.
What November was about was real change- smaller government, greater liberty, less spending, lower taxes. It wasn't about talk about these things, it was about action.
My prediction: Republicans are next. In 2012, they will learn what Democrats already know but will not admit: this time is different. We The People are back in the driver's seat running the show.

November was about bullshit, because these clowns are all talk. They don't have a clue how to actually accomplish anything. It's like more Obama hopey changey talk.

An oddly emotional response from someone who claims to be neither democrat or republican. As a matter of fact, the items Mr. palmbeachpaul brought up are the only things that will facilitate any real change for the better in the US. How anyone can disagree just goes to show how accustomed and dependent people have become of big government. It can not and will not work in the long term. A proven fact.

Can we also end the use of governmental power to create artifical personhood?  |

We actually agree on something. November was the first election in several generations that was about We The People- and the People WILL be heard. Republicans are going to learn this the same way the Democrats did: the hard way. |

The Fox business channel was where the Stossel show was I think, not the main Fox News channel, seem like the Fox Business channel is where they carry there Libertarian hosts (Stossel, Napolitano). Beck is libertarian too, but on the main channel.

Mr. billisonboard, what does this out of context babble mean? Maybe I agree with you.

Although the thread title talks about Fox News, the thread seemed to be trending toward libertarianism so I jumped in with the most commonly ignored use of governmental power, i.e. the granting of artificial personhood, i.e. corporations. www.reclaimdemocracy.org/corporate_accountability/history_corporations_us.html |
