• Ron Paul on winning the CPAC straw-poll ballot despite CPAC’s problems which sound like the Tea Party’s, red-state fascism.
• Trying to co-opt us. I remember when they made libertarian noises as well as culture-wars fearmongering to sink Bill Clinton, one of the best functionally conservative presidents in recent history BTW. No sale.
• Regarding establishment pseudo-conservatism, RIP Alexander Haig but what was, was.
• Per Murray Rothbard vintage Goldwater wasn’t perfect but better than what we’re given now. Even GOP mascot Reagan was against torture, which the rubber-hose right would rather you forget. (Apparently that extremism is OK or 9/11 Changed Everything™.)
• Lew Rockwell on von Mises, Paul, free markets and the future of freedom.
