A Correction

Last Friday in "Libertarianism, The Alt Right, and The Real Racists in Politics," I wrote:

Now if I seem annoyed, it's because I am.

Matt Lewis and The Daily Beast run a headline that there's an insidious connection between libertarianism and the Alt Right...

Accuses libertarianism of attracting racist kooks...

And then blathers on about nothing with no basis at all to back up his very serious and defamatory claims about libertarianism.

And who's calling him out on it?

Not even libertarians are calling him out for this!

Just me.

Well Jay over at PersonalLiberty.com pointed out in a comment that the good folks at Personal Liberty covered the issue and fought back against this smear attack as well.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

I say, it's a good one too! Sam's use of SPLC quotes and the same reasoning in Matt Lewis' smear piece shows that Democrats have themselves a really bad Nazi problem!

Again, thanks, Jay for pointing this out to me.

I was so frustrated with the complete lack of or total milquetoast libertarian responses to this garbage.

My 2011 Trip

Hey Patriots! Hope your New Year is off to a good start! I am multitasking my head off to prepare for a trip around the country of indefinite length and scope starting next week. I'll be headed for Colorado first where I'll investigate medical cannabis laws and their effects; then I'll be flying out to Washington DC for the month of February to attend CPAC and ISFLC; and after that I'll move north to New Hampshire to spend March hanging with members of the Free State Project and learning more about it. I'm not positive what's next after that, but I've got a general inkling, and it might involve venturing overseas to learn a little more about the broader world around us and relay everything I see to you readers here at The Humble Libertarian ! Wish me luck and keep your eye out for updates as I travel. Peace, Wes Wes Messamore , Editor in Chief, T H L Articles | Author's Page

Occupy Mordor or Destroy the Ring?

There has been mixed responses to Occupy Wall Street by libertarians. Some see the movement as a positive, while others see them as little more than lazy hipsters. But libertarians must be sensitive to why people feel the way they do about issues. The occupiers point out a legitimate concern that "the 1%" control vastly more power and wealth than "the 99%", and corporations have accumulated more power and privilege than is healthy for an open society. Some other concerns and demands are absurd, but the heart of the matter is on track. The question is why has this happened? While many on the left are quick to blame a nebulous thing called "greed", or lack of regulation, the matter is more complicated than that. This calls for a Lord of the Rings metaphor. Let's say that Sauron, the big cheese bad guy of Lord of the Rings, is the corporate hegemony. The 1%. Most people in Middle Earth agree that this is a problem, but there are a few differ...
