He is a left-libertarian who to my mind is correct about two central issues: the concentration of power in Washington and the ill economic effects of the collusion of the Federal government and giant international banking institutions at the expense of fiscal integrity and the rule of law. Sometimes, I enjoy his commentary because of those understandings.
But other than that, he tends to miss the bigger picture by ignoring or dismissing the philosophical requirements of maintaining a constitutional Republic. He's also a hothead who substitutes anger for intellect, but that's typical of the breed.
I have never mistaken Karl for a conservative. and yes there are very good discussions at TF.
You describe his ‘breed’ well.
