That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation
often becomes the height of wisdom in the next.

[Cato Institute reposts a piece attacking Civil War critics for not challenging the reasons of secession. This is like criticizing Revolutionary War veterans for not good enough reasons to leave the British Empire.]Cato Institute seems to recycle its garbage opinions. According to these Statist sophists, you need to prove your decision to leave a voluntary association, which flips the principle of liberty on its head. I personally don't give a damn whether the reasons for secession merits some so-called libertarian "elitists" approval.
[A familiar response to a Facebook post on the NFL anthem policy announcement, which was attacked by leftists and some misguided libertarians.]
I don't have an issue with the NFL losing the National Anthem in pre-game ceremonies. But as a viewer or ticket buyer, I don't want to enable self-serving jackasses on the playing field who don't abide by the league code of conduct they signed.
[I think this was a response to some Trump meme indicating he was outside the swamp.]
Um, no. Trump hasn't put a stop to unconditional drone warfare; he hasn't stopped meddling in the Middle East, he's still adding trillions to the national debt; he doesn't respect the Bill of Rights; he's still a Deporter-in-Chief.
[A sarcastic comment on leftists/Statist entitlement.]
We covered this in elementary school. Take 15% of all you make--and that's the government's allowance for you to keep.
[A response to Britain frowning on American gun rights.]
I think the British still are upset we used outlawed muskets against their armed soldiers near 250 years ago.
[Lew Rockwell loves the fact that Trump overcame the mythical Establishment.]
You mean Rockwell now understands that Trump is after power, not principle?
