Susan Lee offers this Wall Street Journal editoral on why libertarian is the way to go. I have to agree 100%, which is why I''ve considered myself one for the past 6 plus years. No question that this should be the party of the future for the US. A must read for anyone who questions or doesn't understand what libertarians are all about.

Libertarians have more fun--and make more sense.

But perhaps the single distinguishing feature between conservatives and libertarians is that libertarians are concerned with individual rights and responsibilities over government--or community--rights and responsibilities. Consider how conservatives and libertarians divide over cultural issues or social policy. Libertarians are not comfortable with normative questions. They admit to one moral principle from which all preferences follow; that principle is self-ownership--individuals have the right to control their own bodies, in action and speech, as long as they do not infringe on the same rights for others. The only role for government is to help people defend themselves from force or fraud. Libertarians do not concern themselves with questions of "best behavior" in social or cultural matters.
