Are There Moderate Libertarians?

[Really_Not_All_That_Bright]

What furt said. It’s less important as an ideology than it is an analytical framework for reforming existing democratic institutions.

“How do we fix Social Security?”
“Why not privatize some of it?”

“How should space exploration be handled?”
“Why not let private enterprise assume the risk and enjoy the rewards?”

I am not necessarily advocating either of these plans.

I don’t know about Teller, but Penn is a capital-L Libertarian. He is “balanced and intelligent,” but he’s not kinda-sorta-semi-libertarian, he’s a party member.

I would argue that you could be a Libertarian and still be a kinda-sorta-semi-libertarian. Same way you can be a Democrat or a Republican, but not be super hardcore about it.

Penn comes off that way to me, most of the time.
