Libertarian Nitwitery At Lew Rockwell
March 10, 2011 A.D.
Harvard is now allowing the ROTC back onto its campus because the US military's Dont' Ask Don't Tell policy has been abolished.
In a brief blog post at Lew Rockwell online Stephan Kinsella quotes an idiotic statement made by his friend. It reads “Isn’t it great that we live in a country where both straight and gay can bomb the browns?”
This is the kind of thinking that makes conservatives think libertarians are left-wingers. Pulling the race card out like this when it is totally irrelevant is what Democrats do. And pulling it out in regard to this story ignores our entire history. Our revolutionary war was fought by white people against white people: white colonialists against the white British.
Our Civil War was white against white too. It was a white president killing white residents of the US south (and it wasn't about slavery either). World War One was whites against whites as well. And World War Two, the same. It was white Anglos against the white Germans and the French. Shall we throw the Japanese in the mix for fairness TO the "browns"?
Then the USA (and all us white folks) spent nearly 50 years in a cold war against, you guessed it, white people in Moscow and their captive lands.
Mr. Kinsella and his friend are nitwits. If we took their logic we would have to rationalize that white Americans hate their own race so they spent several centuries slaughtering them because they favored brown people who now don't deserve their fair share of the process.
