The problem with the looneytarian crowd is that they consider it to be a contest between "two evils". It's not. It's between two guys with two visions.

Like it or not, this is about whether or not we choose to win or lose this war. The Lew Rockwell crowd would like to avoid that choice and pretend that the majority of Americans can be convinced to think along the lines of John Galt's speech from Atlas Shrugged.

They are divorced from reality. There is a war on. That's reality.

Be Seeing You,

Regardless, It amazes me that a nation that was built on criticism of the staus quo is so upset over being criticized. Heck, criticism has helped make me a better man. More people ought to accept a little criticism.

Most of the writers over at Lew Rockwell's Web site are not Objectivists, but Christians, often Catholics. Their intellectual heroes are Thomas Aquinas, Ludwig von Mises, and Murray Rothbard, not Ayn Rand, Thomas Szasz, or Robert Heinlein. Their principal failure is their refusal to recognize the danger of radical Islam and its allies in the international Marxist Left. Neither Rand nor Heinlein were as myopic about the threat of their era, Soviet and Chinese Communism, as the lewrockwell.com and the antiwar.com writers are.
