Like wow Larken, why do you pull your punches? I. Seriously tho, tell it bro! I can always count on LR to tell it like it is and let the chips fall where they may.
I am still a supporter of SM, all but this Trump statist crap anyway. He is either been paid off or just wants to capitalize on the election mania by focusing on a statist candidate. He's being a hypocrite in many respects, and he is showing when push comes to shove how willing he is to prop up the state by getting involved in their game. SM is truly a force to be reckoned with and he deserves respect for what he has contributed, however I'm not a SM cult member so I don't blindly go along with whatever he wants to promote. He taught me too well for that. Anyone with critical thinking skills has to question if he is being more effective for liberty and freedom by talking Trump so much or if he is only looking at his $$ bottom line.
Many felt Jeff Berwick also sold out when he decided to run for office in Canada and encouraged others to do the same. The one big difference is that Berwick was up front about why he was running (solely for publicity), and never compromised his principles by endorsing a statist. He also said from the start he would not assume office should he become elected.
