Immigration Frustration

Conservative commentator Lou Dobbs is notorious for his aggressive approach to our increasingly massive immigration and deportation issues. Libertarian John Stossel is a bit more lenient. A few years back, while working for separate networks, Dobbs and Stossel were well-known adversaries, occasionally bashing each other live on-air. Ironically, both are colleagues at Fox News today and united in this edition of LibertyPen for a stirring debate on immigration.

A Matter of Personal Freedom

Indeed, there are many important issues that conservatives and Libertarians agree on. But don’t be fooled. There are others where they passionately disagree, such as the war on drugs and gambling. Libertarian John Stossel debates former U.S. Rep. Allen West and Alex McFarland of the American Family Association on both of these issues in this edition of LibertyPen.

Libertarian Sights On GOP

FreedomWorks’ Matt Kibbe tells Nick Gillespie of Reason.TV that it might be time for Libertarians to take over the GOP. Author of the recently released Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto, Kibbe says more Americans have drifted toward Libertarianism because of the failure of both [parties]. “You’re not waiting for the parties to tell you what to think anymore,” he says. Join Gillespie and Kibbe on Reason.TV as they discuss government, Republicans and the future of Libertarianism.

Americans Favor Spending Cuts

Fifty-four percent of Americans say Congress should cut spending from current levels and 62 percent say Congress should forget about gun control and move on to other issues.

Social Security is widely popular, with 65 percent having a favorable view of the retirement portions of the program. But it’s also widely misunderstood as an individual retirement account rather than a transfer payment financed by current tax dollars.

A plurality – 45 percent of respondents – still dislike Obamacare and one in five Americans qualifies as libertarian based on responses to questions about the role of the government in social and economic affairs. The results come from the latest The Reason-Rupe Poll, a quarterly, national survey of 1,003 people via cell phones and landlines. More from Reason.TV.

In closing, we can understand the inherent appeal of a Johnson candidacy for porn stars, but how might the XXX vote be divided if there was also a Captain Winky in the race? H/T Blazing Cat Fur
