Ian Scott started blogging in 2001 on the domain name ‘ianism.com’. Originally, the blog was mostly Ian Scott’s perspective on current political affairs from his libertarian/classical liberal bent.

As well, there were some personal stories, especially about his experiences with his son David, who was born in August of 2002.

Ian has never been known for shying away from controversy and his original blog at ianism.com was often filled with comments from a variety of perspectives – some were filled with vitriol and illogic, while others were thoughtfully composed.

Ian Scott comes from the perspective that individuals have inherent rights and increasing government regulation does nothing but infringe upon those rights.

Some of his heroes include John Locke, Thomas Payne, Von Mises; and his own four awesome sons.
