Actually, you've picked 5 names that often don't see eye to eye. Santorum, for example is openly anti-libertarian, while Palin and Paul are decidedly libertarian friendly.

How is Palin libertarian friendly? Paul to some extent maybe but I am not sure about Palin.

For those bashing libertarians, they are the fastest growing segment rivaling the 2 main parties. Libertarians are the future.

Just like 1776, it only takes 10% of the population, united behind a moral, just, and humane ideology, to buck an oppressive government. The other 90% can sit on the sidelines and play fantasy football for all I care. Lefties (parasites) and neocons (lefties in disguise) will oppose libertarianism. So will the media. So will every bureaucrat in the country. These people are weak minded and driven by lower values, power and greed.

In the end, principles prevail.

And Rand Paul is definitely an impostor.

There's nothing to fear from globalization or one world currency. Paraphrasing Ron Paul, just saying

I disagree with the article- I predict that there will be a Libertarian President one day. I think that is the future of the Republican party. There was not much difference between Romney and Obama, and that's why Romney lost.
