Some people hate them because they're ludicurous when it comes to Rand Paul.
According to EPJ's editors we're being "reeled in" by the big bad neocons who themselves regularly denounce Rand and are aware that should he ever be president their scams for the defense industry like the 1.5 trillion F-35 project would come to an end.
So really it's the other way around. Their bought off politicians like McConnell are being reeled in due to competing pressures of re-election.

No. I do think they dislike Rand Paul but that isn't all they print.
Meanwhile, 'Suck it' as a thread title, SRSLY?

It is interesting to watch this develop. Here in Croatia things regarding government regulated healthcare are also almost always more expensive than estimates.

But I am glad that Drudge links to AJ, and I wish AJ had more exposure honestly. If I had anything to do about it I'd make sure AJ was on the air in every major radio market across the country, Why? If people listen to AJ long enough they usually learn not to trust their government and become liberty people, it swells our ranks. Many people in the movement came to be Paul supporters because of AJ, so he does serve a very useful purpose.
I just wish he was more accurate, less conspiratorial, more sane, more rational, used less hyperbole, and less innuendo.

Sorry but AJ is regarded as a hero. I know he is prone to hyperbole but he's also broke many important stories including the MIAC documents Rand likes to cite.
And then there's this...

LOL... I'd +rep you if I could! Collins didn't know or care what you were even talking about.
EPJ is awesome: they are like a lighthouse for liberty. Even if you support Rand Paul they provide you a valuable service: a reference to check where Rand stands relative to liberty.
EPJ has a different political strategy than many of you do. I suggest we actually think about strategy, and not just leave it up to the Rand Pauls we elect.
As far as I can tell the EPJ strategy is consistent with the Rothbard strategy. And Rothbard's is pretty darn convincing (http://mises.org/daily/1709).

Read Rothbard's article (http://mises.org/daily/1709). That's their strategy. It was also Ron Paul's strategy.

I'll agree EPJ sometimes goes a bit too far, they are just very suspicious of Rand Paul, and they have reason to be. We are trusting Rand to get the ring of power and use it for good - history says few if any have ever done that successfully.

Which part of the strategy? The support for Ross Perot, who didn't believe in free trade? Or was it his principled support of radical libertarian Pat Buchanan that you like. Maybe it was Rothbard's principled support of Ron Paul Forum favorite George H. W. Bush. Or did you like Rothbard's principled support of Khrushchev, who undoubtedly was well versed in the Austrian classics. Or did you like his principled stand for appealing to racists in order to incorporate libertarian principles into the right wing?

Haha, come to think of it, I might have said that.
So, what is your point? Mine is that getting tens of thousands of neocons to a libertarian site is a good thing.
Wenzel is good most of the time, but he has an idiotic, hard to tolerate side. Gary Johnson, you have to read this book by Murray Rothbard! Glenn Beck, read Ethics of Liberty by Murray Rothbard! Then you can talk again! And when he talks about Rand Paul he goes crazier than Alex Jones. He actually thinks that the neocons, like Krauthammer, were involved in planning Rand's filibuster and approved it beforehand. Rand just received the idea from someone else, because Rand agreed to be on their side. It's incredible how people smart on some issues can be worse than 3rd grade idiots on others. It's a shame because I can no longer show good posts made by Wenzel to other people without being embarrassed.

Some good info is usually posted at EPJ, but Wenzel seems like a huge ass to me.
I remember a month or 2 ago he was going after Jeffrey Tucker as a secret Rothbard hater because he didn't have enough Rothbard titles on the front page of LFB.
He's also had gone after Peter Schiff because he supported a sales tax over an income tax.
Wenzel's personality reminds me of a teenage girl, always looking for drama and always looking for a witch to hunt.

He only wondered why Rothbard is not a featured author there. I too would like to know why, and why they only carry five of Rothbard's books.
