Since early 1999 his show has been
syndicated on radio stations from Maine to California and from Alaska to
Florida. The program airs live from 8:30 to 1:00 pm each weekday, with
around four million listeners nationwide, as of summer 2003. His show’s popularity is exceeded
only by Rush Limbaugh. From 1977 until 1992, he was a
practicing attorney in Atlanta. His first book, The Terrible Truth About Liberals, has been through six different
printings, and he’s working on his second, Somebody
Has to Say It. A sought-after and very popular
speaker, he is a member of the Libertarian Party. He is also a member of the Honorary
Advisory Board of the Advocates for Self-Government. The Advocates’ “World’s Smallest
Political Quiz” is prominently featured at his Web site, and he has
given the Quiz over the air numerous times. People are always asking him to run for public office, and he answers that he doesn’t want to take a pay cut! However, he says he may run for President as a Libertarian when he retires from radio: “I'll run just once --- and just for the hell of it. I'll select the most qualified vice-presidential candidate possible just in case something strange happens and I win. After I'm sworn in I hang around long enough to sign an Executive Order requiring all airport screeners to have graduated in the top one-half of their high school class. Then I'll free all non-violent drug offenders, take a few spins on Air Force One and get to know the interns. Then I'll resign and let the vice president take the controls.” |

“Politics? I'm a confirmed
Libertarian. I believe that the principal difference between the
Democrats and the Republicans is that the Democrats just want to grow
our Imperial Federal Government a bit faster than the Republicans do.”
"I started out my political life as a bedwetting liberal. Young,
idealistic -- and dumb. Then I started paying income taxes. Thankfully
I realized sooner than most the difference between what I earn and my
"take-home" pay. For a few years I guess you could have
called me a conservative. I was troubled, though, by the penchant
conservatives have for directing the social lives of people. That led
me straight to the libertarian philosophy. Simply put, I believe in
freedom. I believe the Constitution should be amended with a clause
which states that neither the federal nor any state government shall
make any activity that does not violate, through force or fraud, a
persons right to life, liberty or property, a crime. I firmly believe
that if liberty is to be preserved in America, it will be libertarian
thought, if not the Libertarian Party, that saves it."
