  Re: Reagan... not exactly libertarian, but close
 
(...) Libertarianism is generally considered to be strongly toward the right of the political spectrum. Not at the end, of course: there is no end. The 'political spectrum' is not a line, but a circle, with the far left colliding with the far right. (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Reagan... not exactly libertarian, but close
 
This is from a 1975 interview I dug up. It's eerie, how fresh some of the ideas still sound to me. This was from when he was governor of California, before his 1976 run against Gerald R. Ford. (URL) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
