What I Said to the “Mises Caucus” of the Libertarian Party

This was the speech I gave last Saturday in New Orleans. Here’s Scott Horton’s speech and Tom Woods’ grand finale.

    Hey Bob, it’s a good speech. I know no one else is commenting but I listened to it twice and I’ll be the first to stand up and support you.

    Tom’s speech was also good, I don’t think it’s fair to say one is better than the other, only they are different but both of you guys got some good points in there.

    Regarding the quorum sensing topic, when North Korea cleans off the graffiti that’s kind of obvious, but Western society does the same thing in alternative ways. The reason the Progressives create toxic words like “racist” or “white supremacist” is for the purpose of shutting down discussion. It’s the slightly less obvious obstruction that prevents certain issues getting considered and thus not a whole lot different in purpose to North Korea and their graffiti cleaning. Similarly, channeling news through a trusted “thought leader” like Krauthammer operates to prevent the wrong sort of ideas from disseminating so that’s also akin to graffiti cleaning.

    I would say, that we have just found different ways to do the same thing. We aren’t all that far different from North Korea in principle, perhaps more subtle about the techniques deployed.

      You know, I like that Tel guy.

        I listened to both of them, too, Bob. Great job from both of you.

      O captain my captain. I stood up and shared it on Facebook.
