Those of us in the freedom movement need to take the high ground in political debates like these. That would be a welcome change from the endless list of apocalyptic insults and conspiracies hurled around by that crowd in the last year. Please let us know if those changes actually happen anywhere.

Assuming bad faith and being intellectually lazy really are the low road of political discourse. Good post, Lane, and hi there.....you've been absent for awhile. I particularly like the above sentiments.

The Low Road and the High Ground Advocates of freedom should set a good example. By Steven Horwitz • Posted December 17, 2009 Nice sentiments; well stated. But it would help if it were balanced--there are no end of similar if not worse comparisons from the right. And/or addressed the issues on his own side of the political fence more directly. There's no doubt we are in a period of overwrought excessive wicked political hyperbole. But non balanced essays like this one, won't help. Watched Mike McKinnon, the former Bush pr guy, on Rachel Maddow, last night address such hyperbole from the right. Very effective. I suspect there are such from the left as well, Now that's effective.
