Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
Gene, you write in regards to Rothbard's theory of children: "In this instance, I personally believe that Hymowitz has hit the mark, and that Rothbard’s position was mistaken." Have you spelled out your critique of Rothbard anywhere? If you haven't, would you do it now? In the comment section? With footnotes? And multimedia?
ReplyDeleteWell, he goes about doing politics in an absurd fashion, trying to generate all political life from first principles. And so he winds up with ridiculous conclusions like this one. See Michael Oakeshott's essay, "Rationalism in Politics," for a more complete analysis of this style of politics.
