Jack Wheeler panders too much to the emotions. There's room for sensible disagreement and rational discussion about foreign and military policy. We don't have to be dragooned by demagogues into this or that camp.
NewsMax was very critical of Clinton measures that it considered anti-liberty. Those who raise the same criticisms today may well be wrong, but NewsMax ought to at least give a fair hearing to those arguments. Circumstances may dictate a change in policy, but not the vilification of those one shares or shared principles with.
Rothbard has been a bad influence, but it's not clear that he's been that much of a factor within the Libertarian Party -- he has his own little Rockwellite clique or cult. He certainly was a utopianist, but he's not the only one to have painted himself into a corner or gone out on a limb. Some who are beating the war drums lately are quite radical and out of touch with the realm of political possibilities.

More of the typical bull$hit. "You can't criticize anything America does because we're at war!" People who hold that line of thought prove how far we've fallen as a nation.
May the people who denounce Bush's right-wing critics as traitors be the first to feel the effects of a democrat using the PATRIOT Act. I for one will laugh my ass off when they get detained indefinitely.

One of the dumbest articles pretending to be serious.
Somehow, to disagree with one policy or another is 'Anti-American' and many good and productive conservatives are tarred by this wacko's brush. A sentiment fitting for the Taliban mentality.

"Randian libertarians are pro-defense, pro-America; Rothbardians are the opposite."
Maybe in the past. But that's not what I hear coming out of the Rand Institute these-a-days.
Into the audiogram booth for you as your hearing needs a check. The Ayn Rand Institute has consistently produced essays that are very hawkish and advocated force in Iran and N. Korea, as well as in the Palestinean mess.

You don't have to ping the other side, they are like Pavlov's dogs.
The writer left out one group, the SOB's or Sons of Buchanan. On Free Republic, these may be the worse. Their unrelenting hatred of our President is beyond politics. The secret service should be monitoring boards and checking on these hate filled people. One can only imagine what they say to each other with emails.

" Maybe you cant differentiate between, disagreeing with one policy or another and accusing Bush of war crimes against the people of Iraq and organizing genocide for Arabs.

None of these people make the slightest bit of difference. They make their living by being antagonists and mouthing off.
If they start putting up candidates who can win, then it will be serious. Until then, it's just hot air.

Wonder if Paul Abdul-Craig al-Roberts has professed Shahada yet? lol.....no doubt. It's as if he and the rest of these anti-war-at-all-costs, Islam-loving ("the enemy of my enemy is my friend"), self-hating, so-called conservatives are all infected with some nasty degenerative spiritual disease.

I thought that Id heard some pro-Iraqi invasion stuff coming out of there (Ayn Rand Institute). What did you read? I have seen several tv interviews with that very odd fellow (Leonard Pleitikoff?) who was incoherently and rabidly anti-war. I think he heads the Rand Institute.
If I'm wrong, I sure some objectivist around here will chop my subjective little head off.
To: ModelBreaker
Last time I saw Peikoff was in a tv interview was right after 9/11 and he was calling for the nuking of a large portion of the Islamic world.

The Islamic world can thank Allah I wasn't the President on 9/11/01. I would've nuked 1/2 of the Islamic world and extorted protection money ("reparations") from the survivors.

is now in bed with the ACLU in its efforts to demonize Attorney General John Ashcroft and prevent the Patriot Act from catching Moslem terrorists. The Patriot Act is Anti-American.
Former Congressman Bob Barr, who led the impeachment of Bill Clinton in Congress and is also an NRA board member, has become a paid whore for the ACLU, and now makes a living bashing Bush and Ashcroft.
Maybe because Ashcroft is now pushing for bills like the unPatriot Act which he fought for as a senator. He's now turned into Janet Reno without the WACO.
