The generally positive article the June 17 issue of The Hill -- a weekly Capitol Hill newspaper in Washington, DC -- noted: "American voters may not realize it, but much of the recent hostility toward big government is not necessarily Republican or conservative -- it's also Libertarian." Quoted in the piece were Moreno Valley Mayor Bonnie Flickinger, Ross City Council member Peter Parry, and LP Director of Communications Bill Winter. New York magazine featured an article entitled "The Rad Right." Written with a disapproving liberal sneer, it focused on the rise of the libertarian movement, including the Cato Institute and "libertarian" Republican Congressmen. The LP was casually disparaged for its "wacky consistency," and Republicans condemned for their hypocrisy: "Republicans like the free-economy part. It's the other stuff [social tolerance] that makes them queasy," said the article. # # # -- The Libertarian Party America's third largest political party 2600 Virginia Ave NW Suite 100 (202) 333-0008 LPHQ@digex.net Washington DC 20037 http://www.lp.org/lp/ ***Send email or call 1-800-682-1776 for free information package by mail***
