So Dondero got paid to write an article about Frum, and put Lew Rockwell's (paleo-con?) name in the piece to try to draw traffic?

And read Dondero's psycho comments at the bottom: "what war was justified?" answer:" some, including WWII as a retaliation for Pearl Harbor, war being declared upon us". Dondero: "No, I want to know about the Jews. Was it justified to enter the war to save the Jews?"

Newsflash Dondero: Millions of Jews did die, and it wasn't enough to coax your great military into the war. That some were saved was merely a "collateral benefit" to the Allied forces. Are we saying people couldn't have helped the Jewish people in Germany? No. We're saying its wrong to collectively act through taxation and central tax-feeding decision makers (except when attacked, threatened imminently).

I'd break the link before more people stroke Dondero's ego with their hitcount.

What the hawks and pro-standing army libertarians don't realize is that those goals are incompatible with a limited Government. In order to have a force strong enough, well equipped enough, and large enough to remedy the situations that Dondero invisions requires a large-behemoth monstrosity of a Government, which again, is at odds with his domestic ideology. They are schizophrenics. Perhaps if they would de-program themselves and read you know, Anti-Federalist Papers or Robert Higgs, etc. maybe they'll come out of their comatose state, but these interventionist hawks are walking contradictions.

If you want a limited-Government which actually stays limited and a very low tax burden, well, you cannot have a standing army. I also have to laugh at his comment where he says non-interventionist libertarians do not understand human yearning for power once acquired..umm hello that is exactly why I am against a standing army you dumbass (well, and because it is also the method of tyranny at home and abroad).

Bleah.

I hope no one on here thinks Dondero is representative in any way of the Republican Liberty Caucus. I've seen that thought elsewhere, and nothing could be further from the truth.

Yeah the Dondero guy was really disgusting in his comments.

One good thing though was that he posted a good video of a libertarian arguing with union protesters.
