Florida born military brat has returned and now living in Jacksonville, FL. I created this channel to promote libertarian views in a simple and concise way. People often ask where the name LibertyDad comes from. Liberty is the message and Dad is the delivery. Being an active member of my local Libertarian Party affiliate (I'm chair), my message is one of personal liberty and responsibility. But how we deliver it matters too--maybe even more. Before my son was born I thought about what kind of dad I wanted to be. My wife and I will teach him a lot over many years. One day, he'll be out and hear a different message. No matter the topic, I want to foster a relationship with him where he'll always feel comfortable asking me my thoughts. I then realized this works for liberty as well. So here I am, trying to show people how we can deliver a message of liberty in way that encourages people to ask us about it later. Prepare for tomorrow's conversation today.
