Note: When I use the word "libertarian" in my writing and speaking, I am referring to those, as myself, who love liberty; who believe in the non-initiation of force; who believe in individual liberty with personal responsibility meaning people should be able to live their life as they choose as long as they harm no other; who believe in freedom (rejecting the control of economic and social affairs by the state) and who will not compromise those principles and values. (I am not a member of the Libertarian Party (LP).My use of the term "libertarian" is unrelated to the political party.  I advise individuals who wish to join with others in advancing liberty NOT to join the LP. In my opinion, that party is libertarian in name only. It is, in my opinion, a waste of time, work, and money for those truly devoted to achieving liberty in this nation. My observation has been that true libertarians have done far more to advance libertarianism in America through political activism, educational outreach, and organizations than the LP has ever done.)

June 1, 2009 - Health Care reform or health care freedom?

May 26, 2009 - being libertarian - Is this a good time to be libertarian in America?  (Note: At one point during the show, the host questioned me about North Korea and it as a potential threat to Guam, and as I said on the show, I do not believe North Korea is a threat to the United States of America. Guam is a territory used as yet another base for U.S. militarism. North Korea poses no threat to America, which is all our government should be focused upon when it comes to defense. But “defense” is not what the U.S. government seeks, rather it uses our military for offensive purposes worldwide.)


May 18, 2009 - Torture, as well as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. (Note: During my commentary, the host questioned, in understandable disbelief (since he said he did not remember any such news reports), my statement that the Taliban had given the United States government an opportunity to provide evidence connecting Osama bin Laden with 9-11, which upon receipt, the Taliban indicated they may provide bin Laden for trial. The Taliban leader’s name was Abdul Salam Zaeef. Here are several news links with that information.

Nov. 24, 2010 Interviewed by Brent Johnson on the “Global Freedom Report.”  Discussed quite a bit in the brief 20 minutes, including my libertarianism, my rejection of political parties, living life with principles, the tyranny of the U.S. government and ways rights can be protected from the federal government persecuting individuals in states, the inefficacy of the “opt out” day and what instead we should be doing. I was invited on the show due to my recent blog about the TSA, but the host ended up asking me about several things including the TSA – so it’s a varied show which I enjoyed. Read more about show and listen to 20-minute audio HERE.

April 30, 2010 - Interviewed on the “Declare Your Independence with Ernest Hancock”morning show. Jet Lacey (who fills in for Hancock on Friday) conducted an excellent interview with me – I enjoyed it. We discussed libertarianism and the path my life took to it. (One hour audio.) You may listen

May 27, 2010, KMJ-Fresno Radio- California talk show radio host, Chris Daniel, read my article, “When Government Replaces God and Family” (published at the Future of Freedom Foundation website), and requested an interview with me about it. He interviewed me live on-air, on KMJ-Fresno Radio.   KMJ is described as “The Valley’s NewsTalk Radio Leader | Fresno, California.” The talk show host provided this info about the radio show audience: “We are the market leader, a conservative News/Talk.  My show is #1, 25-54 [age demographics], with a potential 1.4 million reach, of which we have about 120,000 at any one time.”Description of the interview from Chris Daniel’s webpage at KMJ:  “Christine Smith, Liberty Advocate, Also writer and former presidential candidate.

Despite Appearances - September 16, 2006. Description: "...Lest we forget, a quick glance at the beginnings of our nation illustrates such hope. Think America was founded by only elder statesmen? Not so.We often think of them in their older years, as it’s the way they are often depicted. But when they courageously signed the Declaration of Independence, many of the brave men were relatively youthful…putting their very lives at risk for a dream, a vision, a belief they wished to make reality. They succeeded..."
