Reading this, I have new hope for the world in which we live in. A world in which liberty is seen first, then people proceed from there. I appreciate the real situations that Gard puts forth and the logical conclusions he lays down. I pity those who don't ignore logic and substitute violence instead.
Live Free or Die: Essays on Liberty by New Hampshire Libertarians

Today I saw a bumper sticker that said, "Silly me, I thought we were free." I laughed and then it made me a little sad because I realized once again that we are not free. Gardner G. is certainly doing his part to promote and protect true freedom by putting together a smorgasbord of entertaining and enlightening stories that will help you understand and appreciate our current state of affairs. Buy this book, read it, and loan it to a friend when your done.

Articulate, prescient and funny too. What more do you need sprinkled on the truth? Goldsmith and his father take us for a freedom ride flying on the back of the Constitution through economics and philosophy with stops for one-liners.
Here's what some of his readers have said:
"This book is the gauntleted fist of liberty smashing the face of oppressive Big Government. Adam Smith would love it. Gardner Goldsmith is to modern politics as the Sex Pistols were to rock n' roll. Buy this book. Read it. Read it again, then throw it at the head of David Souter."
-- John Taylor, President, The Taylor Institute
"Gardner Goldsmith's incisive critique of New Hampshire's plunge into unconstitutional liberalism is a great read. His free market arguments will gladden freedom lovers and infuriate advocates of tax-and-spend Big Government."
-- Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld, author, Is Public Education Necessary?, The New Illiterates, NEA: Trojan Horse of American Education, The Whole Language/OBE Fraud, and Homeschooling
"Live Free or Die is the Cirque de Sole of libertarian literature, pushing the boundaries of the political norm, befuddling the stuffed shirts that would take your freedom, under the guise of protection. No smoke and mirrors here. Just sound reasoning."
-- Malcolm Salls, Member, Free State Project
"Gardner Goldsmith's famous passion for liberty has never been better articulated than it is here."
-- Sean Naylor, author, Not a Good Day to Die

I have been listening to this guys radio show for a couple of months now and have also checked out his web page [...] and really find this man to be thinker who is completely outside the box. In reading this book Mr. Goldsmith discusses current political events in an entertaining way while pointing out just how far away our government has moved away from the very document in which our country was founded. I think the people who dispise this book or who try to label it as extreme right wing are people who don't fully understand the principles from whichg this country is founded on. For the record this book blasts both Democrats and Republicans for the unconstitutional bills which they create and taking away of OUR LIBERTIES. The main message I got from this is that it's still WE THE PEOPLE who can take back our country if enough of us wake up and choose to so. I challenge anyone to read this and feel the spirit of his words---the words of our forefathers echoing through him for us.

I am very pleased with this book. The mix of essays keep the political banter confined to small chunks. Perfect for someone like me who prefers entertainment. Which is also offered at the end of the book.
A must read for those who want a glimpse into some liberty issues in the state of New Hampshire.
As a response to some of the comments, this book and the author are not "right-wing".
It is about freedom, true freedom. Politics is more than just left or right. Freedom is not confined into political parties or government. Live free or die, most Americans are choosing a slow socialist death.
