Thanks for the comments.


Ick. Lew Rockwell.org URL... :(


What don't you like about such URLs? I don't know much about them except
them they're right-libertarians ("right-" meaning "right-wing," as
opposed to left-wing anarchists).

Cheers.


They're a tiny bit lunatic-fringe. They are at least
controversial. YMMV. Mainly, the guy rants about how evil
Lincoln was, which is pretty out there. Except on
Futurama.

I've bumped into a lot of right-libertarian stuff in the past few years,
because I read antiwar.com frequently. (The people running it and getting
paid as columnists are mainly right-libertarian and paleo-conservative, but
they're pretty good at not sneering at leftist/liberal folks who are
genuinely antiwar, and post and link to stuff from them.) So I've come
across the same anti-Lincoln stuff, quite a few times. These guys seem to
have the general idea that Lincoln was a big, evil statist, and clearly buy
into the stuff about the Civil War being about states rights, rather than
slavery.

This being said, they do provide access to a considerable
quantity of the available literature. And it's not like they're
as far gone as Lyndon LaRouche.

My impression is that the libertarians you're talking about really do have
an ideology, which is perhaps fairly consistent _as these things go_; but
that the LaRouche guys are a cult, pure and simple. (I've heard many times
that LR had a long ideological trek, I think from far left to far right.)
