I’d urge you to consider that it is possible to be a libertarian on most issues, and a socialist on some issues, such as Social Security and public lands. Too bad Ron Paul doesn’t get this.

Of course it’s possible, it’s just intellectually inconsistent.

Even when they're infuriatingly collectivist, they are at least honest about their premises and willing to attend to the nuances in others' arguments, so you can have a clear solid disagreement with them. And often they're very very good, and very funny. Crooked Timber is worth reading.

I suppose it is a big tent of libertarians, true blue old school liberal Democrats, anti-authoritarian free thinkers, progressive activists, socialists, peace activists, and academic thinkers. If that's "lefty", then call me Lefty. What's left? Fascist authoritarian haters' blogs? Militarist Zionist propaganda blogs? Who other than a tool reads these?

He would endless puff up and promise a pending scandal every few months that would never materialized. Also I have been at panels where he was listed as a speaker to which he never showed or offered explaination on his blog. Enough of that over the years he just lost crediability to me.
