Thread: Richard Lincoln

@Sidney, really ? Do you even understand what a classical liberal is ? I fully support my right to have my own views and not having to be lumped with a group who thinks they have the right to speak on my behalf... Maybe I should update my handle to "The slightly anarchic, neo-classical liberal gnome".

What is sad is that I see no difference between the groups you guys love to hate, and the organization that you are so quick to defend. They both operate in exactly the same way, and yet you completely fail to see the irony

Except that by not supporting anyone that insists on the rule of law, and for freedom of choice, self determination, and accountability for those charged with enforcement of the law - one can hardly claim consistency with liberal values..

Can't have it both ways - freedom of association is only one part of the deal.. a given, and irrelevant..

And don't bother putting words into my mouth...

Topic change but I take umbrage with your profession to be a "classic liberal". You are not (unless your outlook, like your avatar, has undergone a drastic and convenient change recently).

Especially in light of the thread (since deleted) where you advocated for "land restitution" in South Africa despite yourself having enjoyed the benefit of the land that was "stolen". Back on topic, Richard Lincoln has done nothing to harm you or anyone on this forum. He may, like you or I, be disagreeable to some but he has the right to pursue his career in a profession that he's invested time and money in.
