Cato on Glenn Reynolds.

Ouch.

John Quiggin posts that Glenn Reynolds no longer claims to be a libertarian. Quiggin argues that the idea that a relaxed attitude to sex and drugs and support for economic policies that favour your own social class (note that “shmibertarians” happily square their anti-tax line with support for higher taxes on the poor ) can trump the authoritarian implications of militarism, from Gitmo to collusion in government lies, is now pretty much dead.To which most of my Cato colleagues — one could probably count on one hand the exceptions and still have enough fingers left to smoke a cigarette — would say “Good riddance to bad rubbish.” The same number of people who would differ with that might give a fig what Glenn Reynolds’ reason is today for why George Bush is a heroic figure.
