Here's a pretty old legacy post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 20 years ago, in 2004, on the World Wide Web.
I’ve been a bit busy lately with trying to point out to my Leftist colleagues that a turn towards more libertarian positions is not only not absolutely bonkers, but in fact a good idea. So let’s take a bit of time off from the left-wing deviationists; time to check in on the latest anti-state, anti-war, pro-market news and views from Paleo Bizarro World. Today…
… Bob Wallace reports that European wars were caused by open borders, that the market doesn’t work, and that more government programs are the answer:
Europe was refered to by the Founding Fathers as
nations of eternal war.That is exactly what they are, and this time, as every other time, they are bringing their problems onto themselves with their left-wing open borders nonsense. Left-libertarians, like leftists in general, don’t merely misunderstand human nature; they don’t understand it at all. They truly believe the free market will unite all in peace, as if murderous religious fanatics will give up their fanaticism in exchange for a DVD player.
… R. Kirkwood chimes in to preach the Ninth Crusade:
If there is a fight against Islam in Europe, by the time the leftist elites wake up and realize action is required, it may be too late. As well, to win they would have to fight for the Cross, not for the secular, socialist state. They must fight as Christians, not as secular democrats. That isn’t likely to happen, which is why the Muslims, who will be fighting for Allah, will win, and once again conquer Europe.
… and both of them are singing the praises of William Lind’s call for our Prince President to make his top priority . . . real immigration reform
, meaning:
The government forcing immigrant entrepreneurs to speak only English in their places of business:
A neutral policy of Americanization of all immigrants. As was true for the forefathers of many American citizens, they are welcome to maintain their national language and customs in their homes, but all business in the public square must follow American norms, starting with English-only.
Prussian-style government schools to nationalize the children of the country? Superb:
Mechanisms to foster Americanization, beginning with the public schools. If we need a model, look at New York City’s superb public schools of 100 years ago.
The Berlin Wall? An example to be followed!
Controlling our borders. Given the magnitude of illegal immigration across our southern frontier, we need to put in place something like the old East-West German border. Anyone trying to cross it unlawfully risks getting shot.
Thank the white heterosexual Christian God that we libertarians have such resources available in our struggle for liberty. Lew Rockwell’s Army is on the march…
