It's just a catch all rubric for reactionaries, radicals and extremists.
Rockwellites are anti-statist and pro-secession loons, and that's a view you will find among libertarians at Cato.
You are thoroughly ignorant about libertarians. Glenn has repeatedly cited Cato. Cato is not Lew Rockwell.
Let me ask you this: Would you condemn Glenn if he held a book event with Cato?
I think you may have misunderstood LWM. I think he's saying that the Catonians disapprove of Rockwell also.
I think you may have misunderstood LWM. I think he's saying that the Catonians disapprove of Rockwell also.
In which case I do sincerely apologize. I'm just sort of set to reflexively defend against pooping on 'tarians here -- and not without reason -- but maybe I should have kept my powder dry in this instance.
I go away for a couple of hours, and return to this:
...lifted the economy from the Clinton-9/11 recession...
It's the Clinton Penis-911 recession, idiot. Can't take you anywhere.

...the frequency of advertisements for E.D. remedies has been increasing so astronomically.
Not only that... but we could write you letters of support that would put those written for Libby to shame.
I amended and clarified that in a subsequent post. No need to apologize. I am just now finding out how vitriolic it's getting in that little internecine squabble. Heh. You and I may have our differences, (we may not be on the same page, but we are at least in the same section of the library).
This much I do think. The libertarianism of Lew Rockwell is not the libertarianism of Antiwar.com. No way. And the ideas of social democracy and libertarian socialism have a similar distance between them.
The squabbling I linked to between Palmer and Raimondo was from 2005 but continues to this day. Political labels are not very useful in my opinion (and economists should be barred from discussing politics in public). I have never found a label that suits me. Maybe 100 years from now Third Way will be quaint and Integral Politics will be the norm. If that's the case, I'll go back to being King of the Anarchists.
First, I must raise my objection to referring to individual persons in the plural: "the Bruce Feins, Bob Barrs, even George Wills."
HAPPY JACK

What about "the Shooters"? There are at least 242 of them, they're all made of ticky-tacky, and they all look the same.
...because no error was made. Clarification was required because you were an idiot, again.
The Reagan II Revolutionaries, the purest essence of Reagan's first backwards regime, finally captured every branch of federal government, and dominated state governments across the nation.
They got their chance. They got their chance to carry out their revolution.
Not only did they fail, they were rejected. By the public. By the citizens they thought would love them.
Nothing was accomplished, and only the most slash brained of right wing automatons thinks "no more domestic terror attacks since Bush Jr. let 9/11 happen" is something to brag about.
After all, under Bill Clinton, we had 2 World Trade Centers, a 5 sided Pentagon, 0 planes hijacked into buildings, and 0 cities with our elderly's corpses rotting in the streets.
Under Bush Jr / Reagan II, we have 0 World Trade Centers, a rebuilt Pentagon, 4 planes hijacked into buildings, and "Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job."
And that's not even mentioning your Reagan II Revolutionaries' pathetic military failure, the catastrophe that is Iraq, the widening lawless warlord chaos nightmare whose stink is recognized on every Republican's wardrobe, the historic gigantic failure that forever and irretrievably pulled the veil away from the Proud Neo-Fascists' claims to be manly, manly, macho Warriors Who Knew What They Were Doing.
But let your battle cry of "it ain't our fault, the Democrats let us do it" echo across the land.
Why bother debating the term "conservative"?
The label that fits is "Republican".
It's the Republican party that gets people like Bush, Cheney, DeLay, Santorum, etc. elected. They might claim to be conservatives, but are of course radicals and authoritarians and all the other specific classifications you so aptly categorize them with. But they are Republicans, even if the rats are becoming aware that the deck is tilting and wish to be somewhere else. Letting them hide behind whatever smokescreen they throw up is a waste of time. Voting them out is not, of course.

It's probably just a coincidence, but Karl Rove's protoge and handpicked replacement for US Attorney Bud Cummins, Tim "Cagey" Griffin, resigned from his post as Arkansas' US Attorney just hours after John Conyers asked for the BBC's evidence of Griffin's voter caging in Florida.
Some cynical people have even had the temerity to suggest that the significance of the US Attorney firings and the USA's being replaced by Republican Party hacks had something to do with the White House Gang's wanting to influence election results.
Some cynical people don't know what coincidences are.
Conyers Requests Palast's "Vote Caging" Evidence

House Judiciary chair tells Palast in interview: "We're not through with Griffin by any means."
Indicates caging operation could not have been done without knowledge of Rove, according to Palast team.
As reported previously [1], investigative journalist Greg Palast was scheduled to meet with Rep. John Conyers (D-Michigan) this evening for an on-camera interview for the BBC. His team, just out from the interview, sends this dispatch to The BRAD BLOG [2]:
Rove Pick for US Attorney Resigns After Conyers Seeks Evidence From BBC
"Tim Griffin, formerly right-hand man to Karl Rove, resigned Thursday as US attorney for Arkansas hours after BBC Television "Newsnight" reported that Congressman John Conyers [had] requested the network's evidence on Griffin's involvement in "caging voters." Greg Palast, reporting for both BBC "Newsnight" and "Democracy Now," obtained a series of confidential emails dating from the 2004 presidential election, in which the GOP operative transmitted so-called "caging lists" of voters to state party leaders.
"Experts have concluded the caging lists were designed for a mass challenge of voters' right to cast ballots. The caging lists were heavily weighted with minority voters, including African-American homeless men, students and soldiers sent overseas."
