The bummer for Levi is the Libertarians still will not have a home.

Kinda like the birds of the air.

Look, you are arguing against a cult: http://www.amazon.com/The-Gospel-According-Barack-Christianity/dp/0983068046. Arguments do not work against cults, but you do have this: http://www.amazon.com/The-Gospel-According-Barack-Christianity/dp/0983068046

So there you go. What happened to the hyperlink button?

“I wish I could say I agree, but at least in the economic sphere, it’s damn near a monopoly.”

Patterico – That’s just part of the left’s identifiable cultural/religious values – corporations and profits are bad, but government and equality (especially if one already has made millions and can speak extra specially sanctimoniously) are good.

And I don’t know how healthy it is to believe that one (political?) group has a monopoly on the appreciation of freedom.

I wish I could say I agree, but at least in the economic sphere, it’s damn near a monopoly. As DRJ said, it’s not about whether it’s healthy but about whether it’s true. And in health care, business regulation, and the like, we’re seeing an aggressive expansion of arrogant centralized control of huge swaths of the economy. It’s really and truly awful in ways most people don’t understand.

That was my fault, Alasdair, but I’ll blame my iPad anyway because it obviously has a thing for extra i’s.

DRJ #621 (at least until someone else gets unmoderated) – I read your 620 comment as ‘jerks’ (just with a g) and it seemed to fit …

As for auto-correct not allowing you to use “racists” and “sexists”, perhaps the all-seeing iDevice you (I am guessing) use either a) recognises you as conservative, and, as such, not allowed to use such terms, or b) strongly feels that racists and sexists *must* be changed for their own good …

(On a slightly picky note, while I have two good eyes, my name doesn’t … (grin))(unless that is yet another iDevice artefact?)

OK – who unmoderated a comment and messed up a perfectly bad numerological reference, then ? (grin)

Even with inflation, 667 is not the number of the beast !

The PATRIOT Act was a grabbag of wish lists from the DOJ dating back to the Clinton administration.

I’ve found that seeing someone whine about the PATRIOT Act is pretty much a guarantee that I’ll see something utterly ignorant written about it.
