Liberty Maven

When Ron Paul was laughed at and his supporters were mocked as “crazy” for believing in freedom it was usually done out of jealousy. Or at least that’s what I’d like to believe. Is the ridicule more or less vile when it comes from the Left?

Following this weekend’s appearance on CSPAN “In Depth” Robert Higgs received an email he chose to share with his readers to make a point about the difference between being ridiculed by the Right vs being ridiculed by the Left.

A bit of the foul-mouthed email he received is presented in his article. He goes on to say:

During the painful years of the Bush regime, we had to endure the slings and arrows of the brown shirts who compose the so-called Republican base. Now that Obama has ascended the throne, the brown shirts of the left are emerging as the more conspicuous barbarians. Thank God it is not the case, as far too many people suppose, that we must be on one of these sides or the other.

Much like he did during his CSPAN interview Higgs knocks ‘em down calmly and with logic. Higgs is a liberty hero.
