I am beginning to think that if the Libertarians do not have the intestinal fortitude to defend the nation when deliberately attacked by foreign powers, then we should thank God and pray that they will NEVER have sufficient numbers to get elected to any meaningful office.

Hey...

Watch that broad brush buddy.

Rockwell doesn't speak for all libertarians, and neither does Harry Browne.

I have been ashamed of both in these past weeks.

Camel dung does not make an oasis.

...With all due respect, libertarianism is not a doctrinare phylosophy...

[Texaggie79]

Nice to be on the same side for a change.

OWK, thanks from this non-libertarian for drawing a line in the sand.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

JimRob - was FR down earlier today for re-construction?

...With all due respect, libertarianism is not a doctrinare phylosophy...

Of course it is. Take a poll of any and all libertarians, and I'll bet that 99 out of 100 will say that Arlington National Cemetary is socialist, and needs to be privatized, and why should others be forced to pay for the upkeep of the mortal remains of others, yada, yada.

OWK, thanks from this non-libertarian for drawing a line in the sand.

Amen. He's not alone. There are many stepping up to the plate and exhibiting fine patriotism, such as TKEman and others.

[Jim Robinson]

Free Republic was not down. There was an error in the DNS tables that caused some areas of the country to be temporarily FReeper impaired.....

Drinking koolaide makes me nauseous.

Just because Lew Rockwell mixes up a batch doesn't mean you have to suck it down.

Some say this was not necessarily a bad thing. Others are still shaken.

[Jim Robinson]

The jury is still out.

[neutrino]

, Congress passed several measures designed to rigidly suppress criticism of the war. In particular, the Espionage Act, passed in June 1917, specified a fine of $10,000 or twenty years in prison for "whoever, when the United States is at war, shall willfully obstruct the recruiting or enlistment service of the United States, and whoever, when the United States is at war, shall willfully utter, print, write, or publish any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language about the form of government of the United States, or the military or naval forces of the United States, or the flag."

Great idea! I'll send an e-mail to my congressman!

[CWOJackson]

When I found FR missing I was concerned. Oddly enough, I never once suspected the government. My immediate thought was one of several "previous" posters.

[Senator Pardek]

Don't forget Storm Orphan and yours truly ;)

The beginning of this repeating pattern has already become public with the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security. It has an ominous sound, that name, almost Germanic. (I can’t wait to see the uniforms.)

I can't wait to see the borders of Bush II's idea of Homeland. Somehow I think the Southern border will be well below the Rio G.

BTW, favoring as I do free speech and all that, I urge you all to send an email to save Bill Maher's program: netaudr@abc.com Miss Huffington did.

[Storm Orphan]

I kinda wish he would, some days. ;^)

[TKEman]

I have to agree with you. I've never heard of Lew Rockwell outside of this web site. The guy's obviously a nut. I've given up on reading his drivel.
