Keith Halderman
A Critique of Beltway Libertarians
Ilana Mercer offers an eloquent and passionate defense of Ron Paul from the attacks by some libertarians with special attention paid to Reason magazine. She correctly points out that virtually all of them have never had to live in a situation where they had no fundamental rights. Mercer ends her essay by asserting that, ”Paul's vision is as close to The Good Life as we could hope to come in the current ideological climate. Only tinny ideologues encased in worthless ideological armor – worthless because it exists in the arid arena of their minds, not on earth – would turn their noses up at the prospect of Paul.”
