Liberty is the great parent of science and of virtue;
and a nation will be great in both in proportion as it is free.

[Libertarian criticisms of conservatives are nothing new. I remember getting a personal email back from Don Boudreaux after noting on multiple occasions he had barked back at people who called him a "conservative" economist, wondering why he felt so insulted. Just as Ron Paul, I have no issue with the label, although I'm also comfortable with labels like libertarian, libertarian-conservative or paleolibertarian.]Nope. You guys keep writing absurd pieces (like the presentist analysis on the Civil War). American conservatism is not European-style but is based on a constitutional classical-liberal legacy. Don't confuse it with right-wing authoritarianism or unprincipled Trumpism; Ron Paul for instance is rated as one of the top House conservatives over the past 50 years, and his positions are hardly the pejorative you describe. http://politic365.com/.../ron-paul-leaves-congress-as.../

So now teacher evaluations are assault weapons?

[Niece], check out the stupidity here. Babies with no training seem to figure out how to do it with their moms, which I classify as "natural". And the last time I checked, men don't lactate.
[A sister-in-law published a clip of some 4-year-old black boy handing out meals to grown adults. Apparently my response annoyed her enough to "defriend" me, as if I care. Long story. Not my favorite in-law. It started when she used the B word on one of my sisters.]
