Reason is very vocal in it's libertarianism. For example, here is a great article they posted recently on
Rachel Maddow.
I read the article. Pretty insightful, thanks for posting it.
Peter Schiff and Timothy Carney make similar points in the books I've mentioned repeatedly, about government orchestrated pushes on private industry being inherently inefficient, and allows government (i.e., "crony capitalism") to select a few corporate allies who benefit greatly by an alliance with federal power, at the expense of the ability of mid-size and smaller companies to compete, thus resulting in higher prices and smaller selection for individual consumers, who have less choices as a result of state control.
Quoting Mussolini, and holding back from using the "F-word" (fascism) to avoid coming across as melodramatic was funny, but the point was still sharply made.
Also the comparison of liberal statism to Neoconservatism.
Up until 2006, I would have comfortably allowed myself to be described as neo-conservative. But after reading Pat Buchanan's books, I see the exertion of global power beyond what is necessary for our own defense to be both imperial and a waste of national resources. So I guess i've moved toward the libertarian stance, or at least toward George Washington's warning to "avoid foreign entanglements".
Buchanan makes the point that up through W W II we made an effort to avoid foreign entanglements, and were late in entering both wars. Since then we have frivolously hosed away trillions on wars not in our interest.
