syntaxmachine is swell. As far as getbig's intellectual elite goes though, I prefer the more libertarian minded Kahn.N.Singh and George Whorewell.

I suspect we agree on many things (a constitutional provision limiting the growth in federal spending, reformulating welfare programs so that payments are conditional on economically productive behaviors, ending the war on drugs and thus enhancing individual freedom, devolving many issues to the states to produce their own policy outputs (e.g., whether to recognize gay marriage), reducing corporate tax rates, pivoting away from a world police-style foreign policy, etc.).
I limit my criticism solely to the
neckbeardian (sometimes called 'Paulian') offshoot of libertarianism, a perverse disease which tends to be coextensive with the following: never having taken an economics course; advocating Austrian economics; pretending market systems can exist without government regulation; advocating for a return to the gold standard; repeating everything Peter Schiff says about "imminent hyperinflation" (any day now!

); and a few other deviant behaviors.
