The Essence of Liberty by David F. Nolan
Richard BoddieAs a founder of the Libertarian Party and editor-in-chief of California Liberty [back in the 1990s], I am often asked how to tell if someone is "really" a libertarian. There are probably as many different definitions of the word "libertarian" as ther




The essence of liberty is found in the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." For those of us who don't understand this, it is found in God's command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." For those who find it hard to love, it can be done mechanically by obeying the Ten Commandments.
I don't disagree with these fife points. My only question is, Why must liberty be protected by a test? If one fails even on one point, what then? Is he simply refused admission to 'the elect'? Or is he banned from the very presense of the author? Or is he banned from humanity (murdered)?
Thank you Mr. Nolan I have never met anyone in my life in person, that had even one of these principles clear in their mind and stand by it. Now I know who I want to associate with. If you understand and stand by these 5 principles, sooner or later we will meet.
