Rothbard on Democrats
Why do you allow a columnist like Rothbard to get away with such blatant homophobia? When referring to the Democratic convention he wrote with obvious hatred of a platform that contained lesbian rights. The phrase is in quotes as though such a thing was laughable. If anyone wrote a column sneering at a platform that contained “Jewish rights,” I’m sure you would return it to them and ask them to try and act in a more civilized manner.
You might also have pointed out to him that the city of Los Angeles contains tens of thousands of lesbians who believe that the American way of doing things justifies them the chance to hold a decent job and live in decent quarters.
His heroes, George Bush and Pat Buchanan, both have their backs to the ropes now and all we can do is wait for the knockout punch in November.
