“It’s really strange to find something like this coming from a site with ‘libertarian’ in the title.”

LOL: Well, it shouldn’t be – at least not for a free speech person. Why live under a strict label or be boxed? The title is “Weekend Libertarian” suggesting part-time, in any case.

I wonder: Do some libertarians have a right to make things up to “prove” their case? Why do they prohibit debates on their websites if they’re for “reason” and “liberty”?

Prohibition wasn’t all bad or all good. Again, if it was so bad, then why are libertarians hiding medical and criminal records, from some periods? I think there is a tendency for some libertarians to blame laws instead of holding thugs accountable, for their actions. Al Capone was evil.

"Al Capone was evil."


Not completely. Again your knowledge in this arena is sadly deficient.

Capone, as other mob chieftains in American cities have over the years, often paid the bills for families struggling to make ends meet, anonymously paid hospital bills for people in the Italian neighborhoods of Chicago, and often tipped dirt-poor street-corner newsboys with $100 bills.

During the Depression he opened soup kitchens and shelters for the unemployed and homeless.



Don Alfonso a bad guy? Yep. A ruthless gangster and racketeer who ordered the murders of over a hundred? Without a doubt. But he did have his good points too, I suppose.
