The Power Elite Hates LRC
Like the old joke, I have good news and I have bad news.
The good news is that LRC is more influential than ever. This was already the best-read libertarian site on the web, and the one Ron Paul reads first thing every morning. And 2009 traffic is up 28% over 2008, which was already the best-read in our 11-year history.
More and more Americans, especially young people, turn here for the kind of news and opinion – and good writing – they can’t find in the standard media, print or electronic. And not only America: LRC is attracting readers from all over the world.
And I can’t tell you how many people write to tell me they used to be neocons or left-liberals, but now, thanks to LRC, they are libertarians.
With fascism-socialism on the march in the US and so many other countries, how important is the untrammeled voice of freedom, unafraid, uncompromising, innovative, and effective.
No part of the regime, no statist intellectual, bankster, CIA killer, Wall Streeter, nor shill, will find deference on LewRockwell.com. Here, we recognize the state, as Murray Rothbard put it, as “a gang of thieves writ large.” That goes for the presidency, the Congress, the Supreme Court, the Fed, the Pentagon, and every other sinkhole for our stolen money.
