“Political Correctness” Posted by Stephan Kinsella on February 17, 2005 05:04 PM Tucker tells me he thinks the term “PC” is no longer accurate. I am not sure what term to use instead, e.g., to refer to “PC” type libertarians. I like the Rothbard term “Dimwit and Serioso” libertarians. They are, after all, by and […]
Re: In Case You Were Wondering Posted by Stephan Kinsella on February 20, 2005 10:53 AM Woods’s post is a fantastic and courageous. It’s about time we quit caving in to the dimwit-Serioso libertarians and other politically-correct language fascists. Who do these clowns think they are? These intolerant, brainwashed yippies are in no position to […]

These stirring words always make me want to drive down to the Whataburger and chow down: And what a glorious […]

The main post will be here, on the Mises Blog, but I’ll cross-post the initial post here too. But look there for […]
It’s widely believed–even by Nolan Chart libertarians–that the left and liberals in America are better on civil liberties than are conservatives. I’ve long believed that this is false: that both are terrible, and that if anything, the left is as bad as, or even worse than, modern American conservatives on civil liberties. (See my posts […]
A few related older LRC posts: Re: Left Socialists vs. Right Socialists Posted by Stephan Kinsella on November 12, 2004 02:06 PM Anthony–by saying the liberals are worse than the conservatives on tolerance, personal freedoms, I don’t mean to deny that the conservatives might be worse overall for liberty given, e.g., war etc. (although, most […]
Conservative Erick Erickson argues that, ironically, it’s Ted Kennedy’s fault that Obamacare may be dead: Erick Erickson, the founder of the influential conservative blog RedState, is tying Republican Scott Brown’s victory in the Massachusetts special Senate election directly to the late Democratic Sen.
