Brian Doherty's rumination in today's New York Times regarding the Republican party and a possible change toward a libertarian ideology is wishful thinking. The GOP is authoritarian with neocons wanting to exert influence abroad and evangelicals here at home. Libertarian is the counter to authoritarian and the two find the other repellant. My preference is to let the GOP die off. It already has in New England and Libertarians should work on making political inroads there to fill in the vacuum.
