Russ Lemley: can someone give me any reason why someone who favors limited government should feel any allegiance at all to this guy [Bush]?

Al Gore, Howard Dean and the Democrats?

And there was something else about the lesser of two something-or-anothers, but it hurts my head when I have to think too much.

Don’t confuse victims with murderers and who is hurt with an embargo.

Paul: Is your seemingly moral argument against ‘free trade with the wrong people’ faith-based, or rooted in secular humanism?

Itâ??s not faith-based, but then again, Iâ??m no secular humanist either.

I was just wondering why people claim that trade embargos are ALWAYS a bad idea?

Look, maybe you killed someone, so now you are a â??murdererâ?, but maybe I didnâ??t really care for the guy that you murdered all that much, so maybe in my eyes you arenâ??t such a bad guy after all? Why should I be forced to pay for your incarceration? Why should the benefits of your free trade be denied to our â??societyâ?? How can we call ourselves â??civilizedâ? when we let a little something like murder stand in the way of the benefits of free trade?

I’ve always thought that convicted criminals should be forced to work, and that their wages should be used to compensate their victims. As it is, all they do is sit around, spend taxpayer money, and get really muscular.

Radley Balko: It was a move by Congress to allow U.S. tourists to visit Cuba. It was, essentially, a move toward opening trade with Cuba, which would benefit both Americans and Cubans, and do little to benefit Castro, who hasn’t exactly been dethroned by our decades-long embargo.

Hey I was wondering â?¦

If free trade with Cuba or some other nation we have a â??problemâ? with is actually a bad idea, then is it also a â??bad ideaâ? to deny U.S. citizens free trade with convicted criminals? I mean, think of the untapped potential! Imagine if state and federal inmates could produce goods in prison and then sell those goods and then use the proceeds to buy other products from the general public!

Maybe we could even have a day once a month where we take all of the convicted murderers and rapist to the Mall for a shopping spree?

On what planet does going to Cuba and putting money DIRECTLY into the hands of the Cuban people constitute benefitting Canadian Tourists?

Trade with Cuba only benefits the communist party and canadian tourists, the money would not go to the people.

What did Milton say about people spending other people’s money whom they did not know on other people they did not know?

They don’t know “them” because “they” do not vote, “they” have become irrelevant.

I’ll go you one better.

Why should anyone have ever felt any commonality with Bush over limited government?

No matter how much people like Boaz write about Bush “betraying” small-government folks like us, he never held himself out as a small-government conservative. He ran for office as a moderate, or more specifically, the extra head on Al Gore’s right shoulder. Virtually everything he’s done to make fiscal conservatives and libertarians wail (and rightfully so) has been to fulfill campaign promises.

Just to make this absolutely clear, no one who watched the 2000 presidential debates (where Bush’s response to each and every proposal Gore made to expand government was, “And I’ll do that, to!”) can honestly whine about Bush’s lack of “conservative” or, at the height of absurdity, “libertarian” leanings. He never said he was one of us, he didn’t get elected to be one of us, and he never tried to be one of us.

I am very frustrated with his trade policies. I do think he is doing well with the war on terror (including Iraq), but I know you do not agree. This sucks though, I wish he would swing the correct way with trade.
