Libertarian Freedom vs Conservative and Progressive "Reform"

May 13, 2019

Do you know the big differences between libertarians, conservatives and progressives? Well my guest today is Jacob Hornberger from the Future Of Freedom Foundation. He believes that one major difference is the constant talk from conservatives and progressives to want to "reform" government programs and our wish that the program be completely abolished. We don't want to reform immoral boondoggles, we want to eliminate them. He contends that we are modern day abolitionists who don't want slavery tweaked and reformed, but rather gone altogether. We go down a list of political programs like social security, medicare, the war on drugs, the military industrial complex and Jacob explains where we as libertarians stand and where our conservative and progressive opponents stand. We then get into the rumor of Jacob exploring a libertarian party ticket presidential run.  Visit Jacob here:  and here:  Visit us here: and follow me on Twitter @buckrebel
