Lew Rockwell

Religious rightist Michael Gerson, a Karl Rove disciple and Bush speechwriter, was rewarded with a perch at the once influential Washington Post. So his attempt at thought control, while despicable, is also predictable. Oh for the days of that fake Brit and real CIA agent Bill Buckley, when he could expel Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, John T. Flynn, Albert Jay Nock, and anyone else who refused to back the warfare state, from…from…the pages of his mag, I guess. Funny how establishment types still tell these fairy tales to warm themselves around the fires of burning books. It never worked outside the MSM. And now, thanks to the internet, Rand, Rothbard, and the rest are almost infinitely more influential than the excommunicating Bill, whose forgettable encyclicals have disappeared along with him.
