The Libertarian Party is #1? That’s a joke if you ask me. If you ask Bob Barr, it’s probably legit!
@Christopher Actually, the author of the list said that his order is a big off in terms of quality, so don’t pay too much attention to it.
“Libertarian Party of England”
It amuses me when Americans confuse the UK with England, if only because it winds up our Celtic neighbours…
let me add one voice to the above – steve saville. a bit like shostak, someone who applies firm austrian grounding to investment analysis. nice short, weekly articles here:

Interesting that a number of pro-war websites (e.g. heritage foundation) are listed among “libertarian” blogs.
In related news, just look at the sheer number of pro-war Australian “libertarians” at this thread. And one of them, a professor of economics, even has the gall to claim that Mises supports his warmongering!
I, on the other hand, find such confusion offensive, precisely because of our distinct (and obviously superior) identity.
I was a bit surprised to see Heritage so high on the list… I definitely wouldn’t describe it as anything like libertarian, and I’d imagine that the Heritage folks wouldn’t accept the label, either.
I don’t know its ordinal value, but I humbly submit my own.
I would like to add to the list the following:
My website ( http://divineec.ipower.com/index.html ).
My list of professional blogs ( http://divineec.ipower.com/page13.html ).
It’s not a blog, but you gotta love Libertarianz’ site, New Zealand’s libertarian party.

I’m having trouble understanding why this is notable or newsworthy. (??) Some unknown blogger lists his personal favorites, and tell me why this is news? This is a Beltway/Republitarian list. It’s not hard to see his allegiances (friends, the Beltway, and soft libertarianism). LewRockwell.com is #69? I’m sure Lew is losing sleep over this one.
The gimmick is that everyone who gets mentioned in this list links to it as if it really means something. What a boorish gimmick to draw attention and page views to his site.
Karen, great points.
to sukrit:
i agree, australia libertarians are few, and probably congregate here at mises.org, anyway.
it’s shocking to find norton endorsing public funding of schools and health, and calling himself a lone classical liberal. and with no sense of irony, either. i guess it’s a small mercy that he doesn’t define himself as a libertarian.
New clothing company from Richmond, VA worth taking a look at – TheLibertarianStore.com. It’s educated and edgy.
