Lots of Libertarian centrists have been slammed as "radicals" both inside the LP and outside of it, simply for insisting that self-described "libertarians" ascribe to some consistently libertarian thought pattern.<BR/><BR/>Ironically, four years ago we were all blasted as sell-out compromising statists by the same people. But we haven't changed -- they have! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-40127978843173293662008-07-14T00:03:00.000-04:002008-07-14T00:03:00.000-04:00Steve:Nowhere in my piece did I call you a radical...Steve:<BR/><BR/>Nowhere in my piece did I call you a radical. If you read my post, what I elaborated on was the distinction between States Rights and Federalism, where the former explicitly rejects the Incorporation Doctrine. To the best of my knowledge, Barr does not reject the incorporation doctrine, so the insinuation that he is a Dixiecrat States Rightest is erroneous, even if he goes on conservative talk shows and semantically uses the term States Rights. <BR/><BR/>Btw, I tend toward the anarchist spectrum of libertarianism, but since I don't envision a mass voluntary opt-out from the State occuring anytime soon, i do tend to be a bit more pragmatic politically, which means it takes more than semantics to get me riled up.<BR/><BR/><BR/>If Dondero is calling you a radical, that's between you and him, but it's inaccurate to be lumping in FD into that running narrative.<BR/><BR/>ka1igu1aAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
