Conservative platform in one word: liberty

November 6, 2008 By admin

Exactly. Claudia Rosett pens a MUST READ column…

Joe the Plumber, icon that he became, was not ultimately all about marginal tax brackets worked out to the umpteenth decimal point. He was a symbol of the broad principle that America thrives when its citizens are free to chart their own lives under a government more focused on defending their liberty and private property than encroaching on it in the name of redistributive state-administered “justice.”

When I read conservative authors from the 1960s through the 1980s, they use the word “liberty” all the time.

We need to bring that back.
