We can and have made the case. Most journalists and all liberals are just idiots.

This was written by a Vice president of the Cato Institute. The phantom capitol building for the pro-drug Libertarians on FR.

The Cato institute is irrelevant on foreign policy issues because they are to isolationist. There foreign policy is one of paralysis by analysis.

There are some areas in which libertarians are wise, IMO, others in which they are complete fools, IMO.

The problem is, reality is more complicated than knee-jerk mentalities can fathom.

"Pro-drug Libertarians."

Is that like "Christian right"?

Hey. I'm pro-legalization and I think this article is trash. Some of the stuff Cato puts out is right; some isn't. Your remark is completely pointless and if anything is designed to cause a rift between libert.-leaning 'Pubs and socially-right-leaning 'Pubs. I think almost every wing of the party is united on Iraq, and I have a feeling one of Cato's more prominent members -- P.J. O'Rourke -- is most likely in support of military action. Trashing Cato and libertarians is no way to win your argument. Especially when this article is so full of holes. THINK, man, THINK. Just dissect the arguments in the article. It's an uninformed piece of garbage.
