David Weigel, Meet A Libertarian Democrat

David Weigel in Reason asks the question "Whatever Happened To The Libertarian Democrat?". Here's his basic thesis:

"What makes up the alleged libertarianness of the allegedly libertarian Democrats? As yesterday's events suggested, it's about attitude, not ideas."

I am beginning this blog in order to flesh out this concept of the libertarian Democrat. I intend to put forth ideas, although I believe attitude to be important.

I concede Weigel's point about libertarianism not getting any mention in Denver, but I believe that this small part of the Democratic coalition can grow if some people continue to push it. Hence, I have started this blog.

Thanks to David Weigel for throwing down the gauntlet.
