[Hemingway's Ghost]

You were bragging about the courage of your convictions.

That was your idea of a joke? Wow.

You won’t admit your liberalism.

Oh, I admit it alright. I'm a classic liberal in the mold of John Locke, minus the chapter on slavery. I'm a classic liberal, just like the guys who kicked off the whole program back in the 18th century. My ideological heroes include fellows named Samuel Adams and Joseph Warren.

What I am NOT is a statist. And there are statists on both sides of the modern political aisle.

That was my idea of the truth.

I used to be a libertarian state officer in my misspent youth. Then I grew up. You should try growing up.

If people like you and Ron Paul were there, we’d still be British subjects.
