Although I wish you well in your transition from the national on-the-air ABC News to the cable based Fox News, I am a bit saddened to see you go.

Your presence on the MSM ABC News was the only Libertarian oasis in a sea of statist reporting. I believe your public standing and prestige may suffer for moving to Fox, insofar that Fox is often viewed as an extremist right wing network.

My misgivings notwithstanding, I can understand why, on the whole, you are doing so. After 28 years of ABC ideological friction, it would appear that Fox News is willing to give you an unfettered platform to espouse the Libertarian viewpoint on matters big and small, in a way of depth and breadth never permitted on ABC.

And it is true that Andrew Neopolitano has been treated fairly and been given free reign to espouse undiluted Libertarian perspectives (albeit not in prime time), and that respect bodes well for you. Additionally as a counterpoint to his show, your style is more intellectual and educational than Andrew's, and it will well fill in the innate substance of Libertarianism, in contrast to his more practical outraged-man-in-the-street approach.

After settling into the rote program dynamics of your new media home, I respectfully submit my fervent recommendation to you and in the furtherance of Libertarian cause and the public view thereof; I urge the affirmative and thematic distinction be pressed in your presentations, of the viewpoint, precepts, and applied theory of Libertarianism from the Fox News' incumbent, extremist Right wing, neocon philosophy and political stance .

Republicans, now on political defensive, seek to subsume Libertarianism and its refreshing youthful energy as just an idealistic branch of Republicanism.

In the public mind, Libertarianism is becoming to look like neocon-lite. The average person does not know or understand that the conclusions wrought from Republican political theory and those wrought from Libertarian political theory stem from two very different pedigrees.

It is thus imperative to emphasize at every turn, the significant differences between Libertarianism and the current incarnation of right-wing, (neo)conservative, Republicanism.

Things like legal gay marriage, cross-the-board drug legalization, legalized prostitution, unregulated gambling, stem-cell research (and arguably abortion), our anti-war sentiment and the pulling out of military oversea bases, separation of church and state, pro-immigration viewpoints, competing legal tenders, and more.

These are uber contrare from Fox News and neocon perspectives, and would serve to show that Libertarianism is radically not neocon or Republican.

Populist Republicans are skimming truths off the surface of Libertarianism – ignoring or sidestepping where and how those derivitive truths evolved from Libertarian fundamentals – and then aligning themselves with it to exploit the spirit, energy and community of Libertarianism. Then, using that platform, they sneak in a plethora of other political ideas that simply are not libertarian, effectuating heresy on the uninformed and corrupting our public image.

John, if you are going to enter the belly of the dragon that is Fox News, then you should take your vantage point, that will be so close to the dragon's heart, and use it to its best benefit – educating (or re-educating) all the lost souls that have consumed Fox's party-line sophistry, and give them a real basis for believing in liberty – not one supported only by charismatic talking heads, but based on real philosophical fundamentals that don't change with the prevailing opinion or the political power du jour.

You can further correct the misdirection of neocons' effort at commandeering the liberty movement as one of rightwing Republicanism. Re-cast it properly as a Libertarian one.

My reluctance to participate in the political tea parties is exactly due to this, I don't want to appear to blindly support the Republican Party's reactionary opposition to all things Obama or Democrat.

I too have issues with both, but it is not caused by or cast from the same mold as the Republicans, as I am sure you can empathize, both of us being Libertarians.

In sum John, although you will lose your national podium as a major newsprogram anchor, please do take advantage of your expanded ability to say what you have wanted to say; convert the majority viewership of Fox from statist step-in-time sheep, to flexible passionate liberty loving freethinkers, whose allegience is not to a party, but rather to a cause and mission to liberty.
