Title: "The Liberal...or the Libertarian?"
This episode could just as easily have been called, "The Lady...or the Tiger?", given the nature of the subject, and yes, that did inspire the chosen title.
We know a whole lot of our Conservative brothers and sisters do not like the "L" word. That's why they often like to refer to me as a Libertarian when we talk, for example, at gun shows. Here, we go into why that's not the case (avowed and proud Liberal, after all), with specifics. It is my belief, given my understanding of Libertarianism, that while it has some good ideas, it is lacking in certain areas, gaps which can, and should, be filled in by ideas from Liberalism. We go into that.
However...it also turns out that in several areas, we are natural allies. I see a tendency, far too often amongst us Liberals, to take a "talk to the hand" attitude toward our Libertarian brothers and sisters. I believe this to be a big mistake. On the issues that we don't agree on, fine, let's have those discussions. And on the many issues that we *DO* agree on...we should be working together with them.
