| Mike Huckabee, the anti-libertarian |
| 2015-05-06 |
| h/t Instapundit Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee declared his candidacy for president at a rally Tuesday in a speech that would make a libertarian's blood boil. Typically, libertarians can rely on Republicans to agree with their viewpoints on economic issues and Democrats to agree with them on social freedom. Huckabee is the rare populist who wants government heavily involved in both economic and social issues. Here are just a few highlights of Huckabee's anti-libertarian agenda. IMO, libertarian is a stage you go through in your teen years---like acne. |

| #7 When talking libertarian I think it is important to separate the Big L "legalize everything" from the little l "shrink the government and stop spending". I think perhaps most outgrow the first stage but settle into the second. |

| #1 Can't say I disagree with Huckleberry's points whether he is called a libertarian or conservative. He gave a good speech yesterday. Better than any of the Donks either sitting or running. Experience as a governor. Makes me want to find out more about him. |
