Grab a sweat rag and new pair of panties because the 2016 list of Hottest Libertarian Men is here, my dearest liberty-loving ladies, gentlemen, and neckbeards. This list is 2016’s look at up and coming movers and shakers in the liberty movement with a sprinkle of sexy and spice. This list is in no particular order, so put away your butthurt now. And remember, gentlemen, jealously isn’t sexy—liberty is.
10. Nick Gillespie
The man himself! Editor in chief of Reason.com and Reason TV, Nick Gillespie, gets our ten spot. The online platforms of Reason, the libertarian magazine of “Free Minds and Free Markets” draws over 4 million visits per month! His dark and handsome mystique would be enough to boil your clams, but he’s educated too. Nick has a Ph.D. in English literature, M.A. in English with a concentration in creative writing, and a B.A. in English and Psychology.
There’s nothing hotter than a distinguished and accomplished educated man. Nick Gillespie is proof.
9. Joshua Wilson
Joshua Wilson, C.M.T. is under the radar for most Libertarian readers—perhaps because this former farm boy from rural Alabama is busy leading a free-market lifestyle and building a business. Wilson anchors nationally ranked investment advisory firm WorthPointe Wealth Management as a Partner and Chief Investment officer. Classifying Wilson remains a difficult task. A former Ivy League football player, he stands 6’4″ and tips the scales at 250 pounds—which we can’t help but note would be an imposing figure to have standing behind a podium one day.
Josh is a particularly interesting figure due to his background and ability to relate to a wide audience. How many can honestly say they’ve earned acceptance by intellectual elite, raised by a blue collar Christian minister in the Deep South, and have been named one of the hottest bachelors in a large city?
8. Todd Spears
Have you been lonely and cooped up because of snowzilla? Do your bones and joints ache from not having that special someone cuddled up next to you watching an episode of South Park or House of Cards? Todd Spears can be your knight in shining armor!
Todd’s brains bring all the boys to the yard. Currently, Todd has pledged his support for Austin Petersen’s 2016 Presidential run. This Louisiana ice cream treat is smooth and sweet. You may have to have a lick to find out yourself!
7. Kurt Wallace
Kurt Wallace, has been making our ears shiver with lustful sounds of liberty since the launch of his podcast career in 2007 with Ron Paul Radio — Ron Paul rEVOLution Radio. He now hosts shows on several platforms including Rare.us (COX Enterprises), The Flow with Kurt Wallace, Just Add Popcorn, and more.
This man’s got sultry flow on the radio and the dance floor. Kurt used to own a ballroom dance school, and his favorite dances are Tango, swing and salsa. I’d let you Mambo all over my NAP if you’d like, Mr. Wallace.
Tom Woods once said, “Kurt Wallace, the great, often unsung, but indispensable liberty man.”
6. Tim Moen
Tim Moen saves damsels from the Fed and the flames as a warrior for freedom and Canada’s Libertarian Party leader, volunteer firefighter, paramedic, business owner, filmmaker, volunteer as well as a father and husband . It’s gettin’ hot in here, so Tim, well… you know what to do. He is the man behind the quote,” I want gay married couple to be able to protect their marijuana plants with guns.”
5. Donny Ferguson
The John Wayne of liberty, Donny Ferguson, is the man fighting totalitarian environmentalists with his six-shooter and his new 501(c)(4) group, Americans for a Better Economy, that works to defend oil, gas and ranching industries. And ladies, if you think self-sufficiency is sexy, Donny is your man. He splits his time between D.C. and his ranch property an hour outside the ghost town of Terlingua, Texas, where he’s building his own bar, movie theater, and ranch house, without power tools or assistance. Oh Donny boy, you make me swoon.
But our cowboy ain’t no redneck, neither. Donny was listed by Roll Call as one of “10 Most Quotable Members of Congress,” despite not being a member of Congress and is the Former Communications Director for the Libertarian National Committee. The Kansas City Star praised him for developing a Libertarian Party message that can “cling tightly to its principle and still fit comfortably in the political mainstream.”
4. Cory Blanchard
What’s sexy about chemical engineering? The answer is CTO Cory Blanchard, a R&D chemical engineer with Inventure Renewables in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This hunky go-green enthusiast is sure to heat up your beakers. Cory takes pride in his ability to challenge the conventional paradigm and became a libertarian in 2010 after graduating from the University of Alabama.
He strives to live his life through efferent resource management….He can manage our resources anytime. Hubba-hubba!
3. Eric July
Eric July is one of Liberty’s hottest bad boys. He’s a former gang-banger, rapper, athlete and metal vocalist who is one of today’s sexiest anarcho-capitalists. The Libertarian Republic has been graced with Eric’s Zeus-like presence and writing contributions. Eric made his debut on TLR when he released a video treplaining how the minimum wage adversely affects those whom it is intended to help, and how he transformed from a misled Democrat into a naughty libertarian. He also writes for Being Libertarian and Liberty Hangout and is featured on a few radio talk shows. Eric starred in the Teach Me How to Dougie music video and his passion for free markets will make you want to Drop it Like it’s Hot all the way into his DM’s.
Check out his band BackWordz. They spread legs and the word of liberty with the drop of every beat.
2. Adam Puff
The crisp clapping sound of fresh money fills the room as the masterful financial mind of Adam Puff counts his thick wad while sipping an aromatic aged whiskey after a long day making everyone he knows just that much richer. Oh my Adam! How do you do that voodoo that you do? This Philadelphia Warren Buffet ginger has got all the right moves. As the principal of his own financial firm, Haddonfield Financial Planning, Puff has diversely shoved his magic dragon into a pot of gold.
Gazing into his eyes, you’ll get lost in a transcendent confusion of green and blue. Don’t get too lost though. You’ll want to pay attention when he talks.
1. Tony Stiles
What is that intoxicating smell? It’s the ardent and urbane scent of Prada and controversy. With a “devil may care” attitude and the sexiest voice in liberty, Tony Stiles has us begging him to Hayek all over our Rothbard’s. If his stylish rebel swagger doesn’t get your Mises gushing, his bad boy rigorous activism certainly will. There is no indifferent feeling when it comes to Tony Stiles. You either love him or are driven insane with jealousy by the mere mention of his name. And why wouldn’t you? The self-proclaimed Ambassador of Badass has been dominating talk radio airwaves and jet-setting around the world on speaking tours since 2013 to become one of the few worthy liberty mouthpieces on planet earth. His much anticipated first book comes out later this year.
Tony Stiles is currently spends his time living and working abroad with several organizations teaching as well as aiding efforts to end the trafficking of at-risk men, women and children. If that doesn’t make your teeth sweat, nothing will.
