Two weeks back, the state of Texas sent convicted murderer Marvin Wilson on a KCI-addled one-way trip to oblivion.

The man had it right. I was thrilled when I first encountered this essay sometime in the 1990s as I had already come to a similar conclusion myself. By Murray Rothbard THE ELABORATION OF A systematic theory of liberty has been rare enough, but exposition of a theory of […]
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 J. D. Tuccille Jury nullification, in which jurors refuse to convict defendants under laws they find objectionable or inappropriately applied, is a favored tactic of many libertarians who, rightly or wrongly perceive individual liberty as, at best, a minority taste among their neighbors.

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 […]
