Entry: Rothbard vs. Raimondo on Race Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/rothbard_vs_raimondo_on_race#26498 Post contents: Marcus, A well written piece. The Mises people have wedded their political an monetary fortunes to the Ron Paul gravy train. I might not be a fan of what the United States has become (perhaps always was) but the ferocious hatred and vitriolic attacks you find on lewrockwell from cretins like Anthony Gregory or some of the other unsavory elements who post there leave one desirous of reading Jeremiah Wright's magazine The Trumpet. Raimondo - you wrote a great book once on The Right. But denying the reality of race will be libertarians undoing. Just like Republicans trotting out the token Mexican or token Black, all libertarians can do is trot out the token individual - someone who has forsaken all bonds of community, family and importantly, race and heritage. The old history of the United States is one of conquest. European settlers did take a largely uninhabited continent from warring tribes of nomadic people. All this take of freedom and anarcho-capitalism is silly, when the only people who play by those rules are the ones espousing it. Vdare has fired a mighty salvo and one that was needed. Ron Paul is a brave man. But is ideas of sound money, fiscally responsibility and an end to foreign wars don't resonate with the American people. The VDARE piece is right. Buchanan actually won primaries in 1992 and 1996. Heck, it took a William F. Buckley piece pointing out his anti-semitism (whatever that may mean) to derail his campaign. Paul's should have been aborted before it began. As Peggy Noonan insinuated today, the Republican Party is about to collapse. Dr. Francis once stated, if America - that is the traditional America - is to be salvaged, the Republican Party must be destroyed. We are upon those days. Let the Lew Rockwellites go on talking about open borders, red state facism, etc... The Middle American Radicals just need a outlet for the aggression that is laregly absent for them. They've been taxed to death, beaten down psychology by the media, schools, etc., and are now forced to mortgage their homes for gas. Calls of anarcho-capitalism aren't going to win their hearts and minds and attacking America is only going to distance them further. Calls to blood and defending their families and heritage, and yes, nation/state, will. Vdare 1 lew Rockwell 0, and a big zero. Sent at: 2008 12 02
