I'm still compiling my list of libertarian bloggers and their reaction to the Ron Paul fiasco. Send along links if I've left any out. Remember, the primary concern here is not with Paul's racism (vel non). The concern here is with his "state's rights" ideology, hostility to gay rights, to abortion rights, to free speech rights, to judicial independence, to the federal union, and so forth--that is, the concern here is the fact that Paul, whatever his views on race might be, is not a libertarian, and that the libertarian community has incorporated the worst sort of paleo-conservative elements in the past decades; elements from which it should distance itself. (Of course, the Doughfaces are so enamored of secession, one would expect them to drop the name "libertarian" and strike off on their own!)
