Remember way back in 1999 when the city of New London evicted Susette Kelo and her neighbors from their homes so that the fine people at Pfizer would grace the city with their abundant jobs and tax revenues? Remember how the US Supreme Court agreed giving cheap land to another private owner becau...

David Boaz at Cato@Liberty points to Gallup polling data suggesting that there are a significant number of libertarians in the US electorate not using that label. Not all that many people understand what libertarianism is, and so don’t describe themselves in those terms. I suspect there are...

The divide and conquer strategy has been a staple of government control for centuries.
