Have you ever heard the saying, 'Libertarians eat their own'?
It refers to the nasty Rothbardian habit many Libertarians have of demonizing, attacking and then purging fellow Libertarians for not being perfect in one way or another.
Don't agree about Foreign Policy? Leave the room.
Don't agree about Immigration Policy? Go to the back of the line.
Don't agree on Reproductive Rights? We're not friends any more.
Why is this topical as of today? Well, the unthinkable has happened.
Angela Keaton, purist, hardcore, radical Libertarian just got fired as Executive Director by the leadership of the Libertarian Party of CA.
That's right.
Angela Keaton.
Host of 'The Liberated Space' Radio. Wife of Brian Doherty, famous Libertarian Author and Reason think tanker...
Hand selected, Miss Perfect, choice of the radical LP set was fired.
For what, you ask?
Did she break ranks and agree with Eric Dondero and want to go to war with Iran and Syria?
No.Did she go Pro-Life, and support Ron Paul in making Abortion illegal?
Nope.
Did she line up with Art Olivier and want tough border controls?
Nope.
They fired her because they couldn't balance their budget. A budget they voted for, they control, they can change at will...
I have a lot of problems with the hows and whys of her firing. Angela was fired in an inhumane and dishonest manner, and those who fired her ought to be ashamed.
How she was fired, why she was fired, who fired her...
But I'm not going to elaborate on that. For now.I am going to say that Angela is a fine, honorable person. She's honest and hard-working, and did not deserve this treatment.
But there you have it.
Libertarians eating their own, again. They don't have any other enemies these days, so they must fight among themselves.
