The Rand Paul phenomena vindicates Rothbard’s prescient warning against “right-opportunism.” He also warned against “left-sectarianism” (listen up, left-libertarians and social anarchists). From the Economic Policy Journal Dan Cotter emails: I think Murray Rothbard laid out the best strategy for the liberty movement ever in this letter to F.A. […]

Something you’re unlikely to ever be told by the mainstream media
A keen observation from Neil Hiatt of N-AM: “So it is racist to feature a monkey after a Black person but not an Asian, Oriental, or White person? Hmmmm, seems that the very same PC stormtrooper goon squads crying for an apology are actually the ones that think […]

By Justin Raimondo The obituaries are coming in, and as usual they are filled with the trite things Americans are obsessed with: Gore Vidal’s sexuality, his “coldness,” his feuds, his quips. Andrew Sullivan is typical – and isn’t that typical – in ascribing what he views as Vidal’s flaws to his lack […]
