Words to Live By

The pessimists and the optimists.

There have always been 2 distinct camps in the libertarian movement. I call them the pessimists and the optimists.

The pessimists (“…look around. Freedom is under attack and we’re headed for economic collapse”) lead by Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell, et al.
Keep in mind that RP has indeed been saying the same thing, about economic conditions, for 30 plus years and for 30 plus years he has been wrong.
If economic conditions continue to deteriorate and we go into a global depression, or have a bout of hyperinflation, then RP will have been proven right but only time will tell us if he is right or not.

The optimists (“…look around. We’re wealthier, we live longer, and the Soviet Union is dead.”) lead by Reason magazine/foundation.
Unfortunately these two groups have spent much of their time engaged in a circular firing squad rather than firing at the real enemy.

Reason magazine is celebrating 40 years. (But it really all started with that damn Egyptian King.:-))
From the optimists at Reason magazine.

Randon Thoughts ...

Random thoughts….

The brightest silver lining in the election of “The Dear Leader”…
Now that the parasitic neo-cons have glommed onto the Democratic Party, maybe they can destroy the Democratic Party just like they destroyed the Republican Party.
----
Does anybody remember Rush Limbaugh boasting about the Republican Party’s “permanent majority”?
----
Now that the Republicans are out of power, the radio silence on term limits, a balanced budget amendment and spending cuts has been lifted.
