Yeah, thank goodness his replacement is such a paragon of virtue, friend of liberty and defender of the constitution! Whew! We sure dodged that bullet, didn’t we?
This scurrilous attack is in preparation for the 2010 strategy of suggesting that those who oppose Obamao really want to return to the days of President Bush.
YES I DO
I’m sure Bovard is chronicling the Obama presidency as we speak.
I have my issues with Bush but I think this goes a touch too far. I find that libertarians, the more doctrinaire ones, have a limited understanding of war. I despise the “moral equivalent of war” because it’s a way of imposing fascism on people but killing your enemy, even if it means killing “innocents’ is hardly an “un-libertarian” thing to do.
Now, Bush’s legacy will always be weaker because of the domestic overreaches, IMO and the mealy-mouthed compassionate conservatism business.
I just wish libertarians would understand that if you get REAL conservatives, they have far more in common than with the liberal fascists who would seek to bring EVERY sphere of activity and thought under the domination of the State, whereas most Burkean Conservatives do not propose any such arrangement.
