John Stossel's Latest
Few contemporary libertarians have done more to inform the public of just how pathetic and undeserving adoration of the state is than John Stossel.
His first book reveals, among other things, how his fellow friends in the media came to shun him for daring to take an anti-government stand on the affairs of the day. These are the same clowns who regularly fancy themselves cutting edge rebels in the fight against authority. The reality is that, like all leftists (of varying stripes), most journalists love the power of the state -- anything but the free market and free individuals choosing their own course in life.
In John Stossel's latest report, the recent bailouts and pork circus is made all too obvious for it's grasp for power in the guise of a "stimulus."
A link to part one is here. Be sure to see all six short segments.
How dare he critique the lies of statists and the dupes who cheer them on.
I've seen all of John Stossel's special reports and there's something in them for everybody who truly holds arbitrary authority in suspicion. Although those on the left often see themselves as holding such a view, their beliefs are far from it. They think the emperor has clothes and think we should all pay for them.
Those who believe in individual liberty and the right to simply be left alone owe Stossel several rounds of applause.
