Neal Boortz is a radio host, author, Libertarian, and political commentator. His nationally-syndicated talk show, The Neal Boortz Show, airs throughout the United States.

After years of being a registered Republican, he switched to being a member of the Libertarian Party in 2002. Boortz touches on many controversial topics. He supports eliminating the war on drugs, lowering taxes, and shrinking the size of government, while disagreeing with the Libertarian Party platform by supporting incremental tax reform, the war in Iraq, and opposing unrestricted immigration and illegal immigration. Like most libertarians, Boortz has sided with liberals on some social issues, with limitations, such as abortion, same-sex marriage, and civil liberties, while siding with conservatives on advocating less government spending, decreasing corporate regulation, and supporting the war in Iraq.

The content of his show centers around politics, current events, social issues, and miscellaneous topics of interest which Boortz discusses with callers, correspondents and guests. He routinely criticizes politicians, Muslim extremismists, the homeless, public schools, liberals, opponents of the Iraq war, teachers, smokers, the obese, cats, and welfare recipients. On air, Boortz refers to himself an "equal opportunity offender". He is a staunch critic of the fairness doctrine.

His self-given nicknames include: "The Talkmaster", "America's Rude Awakening", and the "High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth". Boortz's first book was The Commencement Speech You Need To Hear in 1997, followed by The Terrible Truth About Liberals, in 1998. In 2005, he co-wrote The FairTax Book with Congressman John Linder, proposing to implement a national retail sales tax in lieu of federal income taxes, payroll taxes, estate tax, etc., and the hardcover version debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and held that spot for two weeks. In 2007, Boortz released Somebody's Gotta Say It, which is a compilation from his radio show and his life. His latest book is a follow up to the The FairTax Book, with the same coauthor, entitled FairTax: The Truth.
