Travis, I had a subscription to Reason from about 1974 through the early ’80s.

Then I grew up.

Someday, you will too.

None of what you said makes any sense, which makes it all the more bizarre that you concluded your last comment with the call for clarity.

Maybe you would benefit from reading Reason and the various Cato publications so that you actually know what they stand for before you start attacking them as the enemy.

I also know someone who witnessed Burt Blumert saying that Chinese people should only be allowed into America so they could open Chinese restaurants. Too bad for your family if any of them are Chinese & don’t want to make their livings serving food to the like of Blumert.

How does that make you feel about the Rockwellians?

I’m truly glad to see we’re on the same wavelength here — I’ve nothing against you guys, at least nothing more than I have against your political pals like McCain, Giuliani, Thompson, Hillary, etc.

But surely it is more healthy all around to just recognize that we cosmopolitan Paulistas and you provincial, backward-looking, politically-correct, twentieth-century “libertarians” are just not part of the same political movement.

We’re political opponents, just as much as Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama are political opponents.

I hope you guys lose politically, and if you ever manage to actually run any candidates for office, I’ll oppose them and vote against them. Of course, you’d lose anyway — you’ve never actually won an election, but I’d have some fun.

Clarity is a good thing.

I’m afraid you don’t get it.

My wife and I both have Ph.Ds from Stanford. She’s the daughter of Chinese immigrants, and the kids and I are learning Chinese. We’re not religious believers. We’ve traveled to various different countries and continents. I hold several patents on various high-tech inventions.

We’re the very model of a modern, multicultural, highly-educated, cosmopolitan, tech-savvy family.

We’re also happy Ron Paul supporters.

Let me put this as clearly as I can: I like the quips about New York City: they’re funny and on-target. Best of all, they irritate the devil out of all you PC folks.

I wish that Congressman Paul would say more stuff like this on the campaign trail.

Think about it. We Paulistas are now the overwhelmingly dominant wing of the libertarian movement, in numbers, in organization, and in the view of the news media. For the rest of your life, if you call yourself a “libertarian,” people will associate you with us Paulistas.

Reason, Cato, et al. are the libertarian movement of the past, of the twentieth century. We are the libertarians of the twenty-first century.

The future of libertarianism belongs to us.

Get used to it.
