How in the hell is Weigel a Libertarian? What kind of Libertarian would like the Health Care Bill?
- hga 16y agoWell, he did defend Rand Paul after the latter won his nomination and that's the best guess for the motive behind Weigel defenestration. He's a liberal with some libertarian preferences, much as I'm a conservative with some libertarian and paleoconservative preferences. He also was employed by Reason for a while, although one commentator to a Weigel thread archly noted that if you're in favor of marijuana decriminalization anything else goes on that magazine (which is I'm sure an exaggeration, but I dropped my subscription to it after a year or two in the late '90s because it was weak tea at best).
