@WT
Do not try to eradicate [libertarians], I beg you. They are harmless, for one thing, and for another, nothing is more disheartening than watching a man try to rid his dwelling of cockroaches with an icepick.
So, now we libertarians are "cokcroaches." I expect better from you.

I called you wolves, Mona
Bad William!

In alcohol, never mounted
"(and who knows how many more in alcohol that I've never mounted.)"
Let's keep LWM's personal life out of this.

Mona
... In the meantime, however, I proudly point out that one of my libertarian co-bloggers ...
I'll see your Weigel, and raise you a Sobran.

The main difficulty in dealing with collectivists such as LWM, is that they abhor real freedom. Where do you go from there?
-
"Look, LWM has a true idée fixe on the subject of libertarians."
But not Mona. Her ideas are free floating. And she can even float over to find some cool things to say about Dr. No.
Mona,
You are as clueless as I, or anyone else, about libertarianism. Take it up with David Friedman.
-
Mona, please...
...let your backbone slip a little, willya? There may be bigots under every rock, but I assure you, there are none under mine.
I don't take libertarians very seriously, that is true, at least not when they're speaking ex cathedra, but cockroaches? As a metaphor for the futility of L.W.M.'s spiky vigilance, yes. Otherwise, like I say, lighten up a bit. We all God's chillun here.
-
Yes, Bucky
You and Mona are a match made in a match factory, ready to be struck.
:-)

@LWM

Yes, but bombastic bullshit about libertarians is your signature eccentricity; it is not surprising. It is coming from WT.
And please do not speculate as to my waxing and waning comment output. My relative lack of commenting lately has ZERO to do with Lew Rockwell fans participating here, and unless and until they embrace the true fascist whose work Rockwell publishes -- and that most assuredly is not Ron Paul -- I'm cool with them.

Mona
I like you. I respect you. But you are the quintessential "suburban living room cocktail libertarian". Not unlike most capital "L" Libertarian Party libertarians. You don't even have enough sense to adopt David Friedman's anarchistic roots and defy any ideology.

What is a Libertarian
Basically an angry drunken redneck clown. With a higher credit score. Take someone who's ever been hassled by the cops. Add some hateradio bullshit. A dash of racism. Stir until convinced you have a slightly higher standard of living than all the people you hate. Pour out on a hot bed of fuck you.
-
Mona... "and that most assuredly is not Ron Paul"
I'm sure you felt that way about Bush the first time you voted for him. Your record leaves most of us here cold. Have a nice night, Mona. I sleep well.

@Mona - Just when I was starting to feel better about the future
I went to the Weekly Standard link and read it.
These guys will never be happy until they have killed every person in the world who doesn't read The Weekly Standard.
It may happen on the right or it may happen on the left, but sooner or later a couple of psychos with a chemistry set are going to pull a Twelve Monkeys and I'll probably end up in the role of the guy who has to repeatedly go back in time to try and fix it (and that's if I'm lucky). As if my head isn't already in a highly altered state. (I was born this way. Can't blame it on drugs.)
Karen M -- I agree with you about William. William, you should write a book. Have you already?
-
Now that is funny!

Shooter is never that funny. I think I like you. Not in that way...

Hmm
Well, I guess I wasn't all that badly misbehaving yesterday, comparatively speaking, to have posted a few links to a young lady singing and playing banjo and guitar. Compared to all this libertarian back and forth my OT posts were at least fun.

OT--Anybody heard of Alaska Report before?
I was checking news stories on the Google news site and saw a wonderfully ridiculous picutre of W accompanying the headlines on the Appeals Court rejection of the ACLU wiretapping suit. The picture was linked to a publication called Alaska Report:
http://alaskareport.com/news/z46324_wiretapping.htm
The same operation also has a hilarious photo on the Domenici story as well: http://alaskareport.com/news/z46327_domenici.htm
Can anyone shed some light on this operation? They seem to have a wonderful sense of humor. Their home page has links to Salon, HuffPo, The Nation and The Independent.

Alaska Report
They have David Corn and The Nation. Left leaning? Is that what you wanted to hear?

Outfduckingstanding! Truly just awesome; you clearly have the Ann Coulter formula for demonizing those with whihc you disagree down very well. Yup, you are as nuanced and insightful in your views of libertarians as she is about all those treasonous liberals.
I salute you, Mr. Coulter.

@ Kitt
The young miss Tuttle is wonderful. OT's like that I can live with, especially on days when it's my unfortunate duty to disagree with Glenn.
I forgot to thank you then, so let me do it now. It was a true pleasure.

Thanks, William. I'm glad you took the time to take notice, and that you enjoyed her music. I'm so pleased to have discovered her. She's such a 'pick-me-up'!

Q: How dumb is LWM?
A: On the coldest night of the year, he went into Starbucks and ordered a Cleveland Steamer.
