Erick Erickson on C-Span at CPAC

[ConCap]

Would not give him or Red State the time of day. (oops, I just did)

Damn, it's over.

Now it's Rick Perry.

i don't know what that means... you wouldn't give Eric the time of day? Or he wouldn't give a socialist the time of day?

All the folks who parrot Rand being some infiltrator should watch the last 4 minutes of that video. You can't trick the serfs into freedom, they must want it, then they will protect it, but that they do not want will not be protected. Therefore it is illogical to assume you will foist upon a people justice, markets, property rights, and liberty whom do not want it. What then? It is up to us to argue boisterously and with vigor the proper case for a society based on individual liberty, property rights, freedom of contract, and the inviolability of all such rights endowed by our self-proprietorship.

So, you see, Rand has defeated our cause before we even began if he is going to use Statism to try and trick the people into freedom. It won't work. Has never worked, and is the fools folly. Do not get suckered into that defeatism. We must proudly and loudly proclaim liberty without compromise, without surrender, and with full conviction of the rightness of our cause. This is why I support Ron, and not Rand.
