What Should Freedom Lovers Do?

- Lew Rockwell -

Rockwell asks, "What should freedom lovers do?"

His offers this first, "The usual answer – go into government – is wrongheaded. Too many good minds have been corrupted and lost by following this fateful course." So, if you love freedom do not go into government. What follows logically is that we ought have no government at all and Murray Rothbard, his hero (and Ron Paul's) said as much. We should live in a world of anarchy, private justice against private justice with no objective criteria for resolution. This has never worked in history and never will. The Founding Fathers knew this and attempted to established a government limited to protecting individual rights -- which worked for a while. The solution, then, is not to regress to stone age tribal society but to return to the Founder's original intent. We can do that by kicking Obama out of office and electing Romney. Rand Paul has endorsed Romney and believes we can eventually work our way back to that original intent.

As for Rockwell's contention that too many good minds are corrupted -- and lost -- by entering government, one ought looked to further then the life of a certain A. Lincoln. Without Lincoln the South may very well have contintued on for decades with torturing and murdering 'their' slaves -- and expanding such into newly formed states. The eventual slave revolt coupled with Eurpoean assistance might well have destroyed the young Republic well before the beginning of the 20th Century. As to why Lincoln is held in disfavor by Lew Rockwell and Ron Paul -- is a question that needs a serious answer.
