To give you an example of YAF spirit those days (...) There was a small libertarian contingent. This was beginning the libertarian-conservative alliance. (...) They suggested the term "Young Americans for Freedom". The trads, who were in majority, traditionalists, said - no, no, we can't use the word "freedom", because it's a commie word. To me it sort of summarizes the right wing from now on. "Freedom is a commie word."

Murray Rothbard
