Pardon our hysterical laughter.
04.16.08 (2:12 pm)   [edit]

The sell-out of libertarian principles continues. But the funniest example of this was the recent announcement by the Rockwellian, Justin Raimondo. Raimondo writes a generally supportive article about the far Right, antigay politician Bob Barr. Barr, who is a social conservative is no libertarian but the social conservatives who have infiltrated the libertarian movment don't care -- hell, they aren't libertarians either.

 Raimondo's funny line was when he mentioned Barr's opposition to legalizing drugs. He wrote: "I'm even mildly enthusiastic about his (Barr's) opposition to legalizing 'hard' drugs, such as methamphetamine." Raimodo, like a good Rockwellian then takes a swipe at other libertarians by saying "this will doubtless prove his undoing over at Reason magazine."

 Considering the reputation of Raimondo's old "Radical Caucus" when it comes to the use and distribution of drugs this is very funny. Very funny indeed.
