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.
In Newton, New Jersey, I see, perhaps not far in that case from an Apple store. On the same block as Lu's Austrian Cycle Repair, Hunan Action Chinese Buffet, Papa Rothbardo's Manicotti and Steak House, and Benedict "Amsterdam" O'Reijlly's No-Spinozone Layer Tanning Salon and Rationalist Opticians: Lenses and Axioms Ground While U Wait. Oh, and the Descartes Cog Factory: "Ergonomic design - the whole of our torque is greater than the sum of the speed of our parts."
