Evil From Within
Tom Palmer is sickened by the positions of some libertarians on the Ukrainian elections and much more. It's an excellent post that deserves a read.
What’s that terrible smell? It’s coming from a hatred of the United States that has become so strong that it has overpowered any lingering attachment to the ideas of liberty on which the United States was founded. Lewrockwell.com and antiwar.com are where the stench is strongest.
Some may wonder why I raise this issue, which is something I do in my own name only. It would be much easier to do what most of my friends do and merely ignore those who have taken up the mantle of malicious anti-Americanism and the defense of oppressive tyrannies, all in the name of “liberty.” I don’t relish getting slimed, having my personal life made an issue (Justin Raimondo and some of the lewrockwellites find my sexual orientation much more interesting than I do), or being denounced in pornographic comments and emails.
But this issue needs to be confronted. And real libertarians, people who actually value liberty, should – at the least – turn their backs on those who defend tyranny.
