If Cato’s website and wiki is to be believed, they’re pro gay rights, noninterventionist on foreign policy, which more Republicans should have been these last 2 decades, laid back on immigration issues, and critical of the recent Iraq war (not sure on the first one).

Their skepticism on AGW may pass in the next few years. If right wing ‘tory’ types of Europe pretty much have fallen in line, Cato will likely evolve sooner than later. Most libertarians are ok with government intervention on public goods like local air and water pollution. Also, I took my own sweet time coming around on this issue, mostly because of the hypocrisy and overwrought tone certain advocates, so I can empathize.

In other news, Cato the Elder, if you’re here, there’s a poster in my local Jason’s Deli identical to your avatar. It’s kind of spooky seeing you where you don’t belong.
