A story (in Portuguese, but you can easily translate it) from Brasil about U.S. libertarianism.

And, quite rightly, BHL-ists figure prominently in the discussion.

Excerpt (of a bad translation):

According to analysts, this appeal of libertarianism in American society, winning Republican and Democratic voters, comes from different factors. The main ones are the disillusionment of Americans with the two main parties and libertarian ideology itself, which has enough power to be absorbed by citizens leftmost and rightmost of the political spectrum elasticity. After eight years of George clumsy administration. W. Bush and over six years of disappointing the Obama administration, the third force in American politics won over 1.2 million votes. Although the number represents only 0.99% of the total electorate, libertarian ideas are being increasingly appropriated and assimilated in American politics, especially among the younger crowd, making a net ideology of libertarianism, which infiltrates the discourse of the two largest parties in the country.

I think that “George clumsy administration W. Bush” should be his official nickname, from now on.
