I first heard of Doctor Wortham in the late 1980s & to the best of my knowledge she is a serious committed objectivist which would make her quite an admirable liberal in the rightful old fashioned sense that imprimis validated, explicated & justified laisser faire capitalism, aristocratic constitutional republicanism, international free trade, state rights via honest federalism, the gold specie standard, prohibition of onerous taxes, diplomatic neutrality in an ever dangerous world, rejection of militarism & imperialism, reliance on custom & voluntarism to produce general bourgeois culture & civility & isonomy, the mandate of equality in a polity of every one therein unto the law. Why Boortz, whose own notional intellectual debt to Ayn Rand & objectivism never seems to be properly honored, lets on his show shady characters such as Gingrich whom I would not trust 5 minutes alone in a locked room with a white hot stove when he could have heroes & heroines such as Ron Paul & Anne Wortham, will continue to perplex me til Boortz himself explains. <br> <br> Note to Boortz: there was libertarianism before the Cato Institute & the early Cato Institute was a commenable endeavor given the influence of co-founder Murray Rothbard but I rarely find you praizing or citing the sort of purist organization such as the Foundation for Economic Education, the Ludwig von Mises Institute, the Liberty Amendment Committee, the Ayn Rand Institute, LewRockwell.com or AlanStang.com where you will find the like of Anne Wortham, Murray Rothbard, Ludwig von Mises, Ron Paul, Llewllyn Rockwell, Alan Stang, Edward Griffin, Jack Metcalf & George Reisman, to name some of my most admired far right figures living & dead, favorably quoted & honored; all your guest time is reserved for imperialists, corporatists, militarists, neo-conservatives, war lovers, zionists & other compromizers or out-right denigraters of the principles vital to libertarianism, old fashioned liberalism, objectivism & individualist arch-ultra conservatism--why, Boortz? what have you against gaining some net ground for your professed beliefs? is it the recurring isolationist & at least tacit conspiracist influence in many of the groups that are truer to your stated convictions? Be more like Anne Wortham & stay consistent. By Jack in Dayton, Ohio
