Will Wilkinson on the Paul crackup

Will Wilkinson has some thoughts and promises what will no doubt be a very enlightening series of posts:

I think it’s pretty important then to publicize the fact that there are genuinely liberal versions of libertarianism out there.... If I can find time over the next few weeks, I’m going to write a series of posts explaining why key elements of Ron Paul’s popular appeal, such as an antipathy to the freedom of movement, a fixation on national sovereignty, and constitutional fetishism, are inconsistent with a real concern for human freedom. More generally, I want to say something about why flag-waving “libertarianism in one country” types are ultimately no friends of liberty.
