1262: Murray Rothbard – The Right-Wing Honeyed Words

W1262: Murray Rothbard - The Right-Wing Honeyed Words
I grew up a right-winger, and became more intensely a libertarian rightist as I grew older.

1152: David Friedman – Millions of People Would Like to Become Americans

W1152: David Friedman - Millions of People Would Like to Become Americans
There are people, probably many millions, who would like to come here, live here, work here, raise their children here, die here. There are people who would like to become Americans, as our parents and grandparents did. If we want to be honest, we can ship the Statue of Liberty back to France or replace the outdated verse with new lines, 'America the closed preserve. That dirty foreigners don't deserve' —David Friedman
