“Conservatives have allowed libertarian rhetoric to talk themselves out of attempting to solve problems while not actually doing anything substantively libertarian. So we say ‘Don’t ask for free stuff, move instead’ while jacking up federal spending, running record deficits even during relative peace and prosperity, eroding civil liberties, waging all kinds of wars, and watching the national debt careen past $38 trillion. It is the kind of thing that makes a person think that they are taking crazy pills, as many conservatives now apparently are.” (11/15/25)
