look at OWJust about denies everything and makes up the rest---juvenile--"do your own thing--don't hurt the flowers"!
The Conservative Art is Adam Smith---enlightened self interest(personal responsibility--LAWS) via the invisible hand---market forces/decisions--freedom...not central control collapse!
Hee Hee. We know all about Adam Smith. "The Wealth of Nations" is practically required libertarian reading.
You crack me up!
The Globe gave him a 4 month suspension for this omission, even though no one even accused him of plagiarism or intent to deceive anyone. The suspension smacks of deliberate retaliation for his well-known conservative positions. Thus, the liberal Globe editors silenced the only conservative voice on the staff for the duration of the 2000 Presidential campaign.
BTW I read your article and thought it was outstanding. I hope you'll post more of your articles here on FR.
FReedom does not equal anarchy, my FRiend, it implies and infers self-control and self-responsibility. I'm all for folks following rules, I just don't think we need so many friggin' laws at the Federal Level. Lib'rals are all about State-Control of everything...that's far from what I or OWK or any true libertarian is about.
"look at OWJust about denies everything and makes up the rest---juvenile--"do your own thing--don't hurt the flowers"!"
IMHO, OWK takes pure libertarianism beyond what we will ever have to worry about in day-to-day life, but he's pretty damn consistent in sticking to his principles. Why you would chose to chide him for that is troublesome to me, and I say that as a FRiend who respects yer opinion.
FReegards...MUD
The arrogance of liberals boggles the mind. They think they can discard 4,000 years of acquired wisdom in favor of the latest pseudo-scientific and untested ideas put forward by self-proclaimed 'experts.'
Do you recognise this..."read that poem--read that poem(haha)"!
So the Rules that govern us are only valid if codified by Federal Statute?! SHEEESH, please tell me you don't actually believe that Leftist schlock!!
MUD
W/o personal consciousness-responsibilty--a Republic is moot!
I was thinking that. Hopefully, more kids will figure out that becoming conservatives is the perfect way to rebel against their liberal parents.
Adam Smith??? Don't make me laugh.
You're a closet socialist, and you're afraid to confess it.
Agree. I don't think Jacoby is suggesting this absolves Lindh from responsibility for what he did, and neither am I. If convicted of treason, he should be executed IMO.
OTOH if the evidence shows that the Al Qaeda had him drugged/brainwashed, that should be considered. Based on what we now know, it doesn't look like that's the case -- I think he voluntarily decided to fight against his country -- but all the evidence isn't in yet.
There are sociopaths--criminals.
These 'sociopath-criminals' dominate the highest positions in society's institutions, particularly government positions.
And yes, I have one H*LL of a big problem with that; that's why I'm a libertarian conservative.
my daddy told(he knew it in German) in plain English---
when your in deep shit son--hold your nose and blame yourself,
and you might be able to get outta of the fog you are in!
Try it sometime---it is the opposite of denial--projection!
You're losing it.
