Entry: A Response to John Ross Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_response_to_john_ross#8646 Post contents: A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. In this case, Jack Ross, after attending a single meeting of the Robert Taft Club and undertaking what by his own admission was a "casual perusal" of the attendees, Ross has decided that he's fit to prnounce on the makeup of the group, the intentions of its members, and their prospects for ... well, I'm not quite sure what Ross thinks he's getting at with his Browderism b.s., because the Taft Club is not a pressure group or political sect. It's an intellectual forum, admittedly with an emphasis on questions that touch upon public policy, for serious conservatives and libertarians. I'm sorry that Jack Ross was not sufficiently entertained or moved or otherwise satisfied with the one meeting he attended; perhaps he would have enjoyed the next Taft Club event, an educational talk by Ron Paul, more. Paul Gottfried and I (full disclose: I'm a founding member and board member of the Taft Club) have rather more extensive experience with the group than Ross has, and neither of us would characterize it in anything like the terms that Ross does.
