Ahhhh, fireworks shot off. So, go ahead...finish you sentence, Fudge...
I'm STILL searching for that philosopher/essayist from Revolutionary times. 
In 'Revolutionary' times? 'Libertarianism by name was of course much later - Perhaps British born Thomas Paine - Common sense, Age of Reason.... but at that time anyone who wasn't an Episcopalian in the US (Church of England in UK) were considered 'atheists'
And so there were quite a few David Hume, Richard Price, Denis Diderot (well French too), Rousseau...Better known in those times, if their politics were 'correct' - Radical Whigs. The Lunaticks were considered 'Honest Whigs' real close to politics and philosophy of libertarians. In fact, even the Federalist would be considered radical libertarians today - except perhaps Alexander Hamilton - although if possible, I'd vote for him rather than any of the current candidates.
Thomas Payne ?I'm STILL searching for that philosopher/essayist from Revolutionary times.
Now, let's knock off all this intellectual talk and get back to the mindless chatter that we are infamous for.
Thank you Kent, Jerry. YES, Thomas Paine. I found him same time you posted, like many of his ideas.
Tada!!!!!
A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.
Thomas Paine
Close to a Goldwater quote in his election bid.... for those who love 'moderation' in everything.
Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.
Thomas Paine
I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.
Thomas Paine
My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.
Thomas Paine
My mind is my own church.
Thomas Paine
Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.
