Bummer. Here's a working link: http://web.archive.org/web/20071015041700/http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3ad0b80b3a17.htm
My previous claims were based on obvious truth.
Sorry, "obvious truths" aren't data - Aristotle considered it an obvious truth that heavier objects fell faster.
the Rothberg quote, which I’ve sent you twice now
Wrong - it was quoted once and paraphrased once ... and without any evidence of Rothbard's having conducted an empirical study remains merely his opinion.
Rothbard knows the libertarian community as well as anyone. If he thinks most libertarians are atheists, I’ll take his word for it. Ayn Rand was an militant atheist, and millions of libertarians take her words as gospel. Especially the hormone-addled childless youth who live and vote like atheists.
Here’s an obvious truth, like water flows downhill. People grow up with religious and philosophical beliefs first, which ultimately shape political beliefs. They learn about God at age four, start walking precincts with their parents at ten, and voting at 18. What’s so controversial about that?
