My Reply to the Ron Paul Haters ~ Thomas Woods
C4L | Posted by Thomas Woods on 07/03/09
The once-mighty but now waning Wonkette, the supposedly progressive but in fact 100% Establishment site that was (and is) vicious to Ron Paul, also doesn't like Rep. Michele Bachmann -- after all, she demanded to know the constitutional clause that authorized the bailouts, and now she's reading about Austrian business cycle theory (oh, no!). Since these alleged progressives are actually the bitterest defenders of the status quo, this is not allowed.
I finally decided to fire back. A sample from my column ...

... which I hope you'll read: "The left coined the phrase question authority, right? As it turns out, they really meant question authority except the Treasury secretary in a Democratic administration, or the Fed chairman, or the Washington Post, or the bipartisan foreign-policy consensus, or the regulatory establishment, or Paul Krugman, or the SEC, or the medical establishment, or the central bank, or the Officially Approved Version of American History you were taught in fourth grade."
