Knew and worked with Dave Nolan, one of the founders of the Libertarian Party. Met Murray Rothbard (and many other libertarians including Ron Paul)and found Rothbard to be a brilliant thinker and historian. He was a great conversationalist and I enjoyed our brief meetings. But I was never persuaded of his political Brian Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10188778202762603278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890852736639676808.post-47887078972798801932018-02-02T17:18:46.216-05:002018-02-02T17:18:46.216-05:00Brian, I agree with you, I just didn’t want to com...Brian, I agree with you, I just didn’t want to come across as being disrespectful to Mr. Sabrin, as I respect the past work he has done. <br />But I do feel it’s time to quit wasting time and energy in the political field. I know Rothbard was into politics, and although I never got the chance to know him, I wonder if he would be of the same opinion now.

Prof. Sabrin ...Joshua, don't pull your punches! Prof. Sabrin may be a nice guy. He certainly uses the right words and he will probably run a consistently libertarian campaign. But he is a wordsmith, a teacher a thinker and worse a politician. These talents will not change the trend against liberty. Bastiat was right.

I think the best way forward is to change the minds of the young -- our generation is shot -- and so if, as Ron Paul did, you can use a public platform to get folks talking and learning again about genuine free markets, and consistently applied non-aggression in all spheres of life, that will be a great outcome.

I was never promised anything. I never knew Ol Ben Franklin, although his sister was my great Aunt. <br />Reading history from Libertarian’s like “Concieved in Liberty” I get that a lot of the founders were crooks, and didn’t give a hoot about Liberty.<br />Joshua Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314841330994831499noreply@blogger.com
