[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 201789, member: 2189"] Excellent observation Senior and nice job on posting the link. Ironically sometime back I posted a link to Bastiat's "The Law" in another thread [URL]http://www.constitution.org/law/bastiat.htm[/URL] but for a variety of reasons I think for the most part it got ignored. I remember being exposed to Bastiat's The Law actually by a Democrat Congressman from the 1970's and early 80's that my wife and I were friends with. He was the Late Larry McDonald who was killed on KAL 007. His influence also led me to Hayek's Road to Serfdom and ultimately onto Classical Liberalism thinking where I really began to appreciate not only men like Thomas Jefferson but more so men like Patrick Henry and the whole anti-federalist idea. The Levianithan that Henry and the anti-federalists feared would result from the Constitution has IMO been more than seen and I dare say even federalists like Hamilton would today when looking at what the federal level has become would likely join Henry and the others in calling for an end to the Constitution and a return to the Articles of Confederation. I also remember well at the time Reagan also talking about Bastiat and yes he also mentioned and had read Hayek as well and Hayek recieved from Bush 1 in 1991' the US Presidential Medal of Freedom for his contributions to political and economic thought. I always saw Hayek and Milton as pragmatic libertarians if you will but in there case I do think they were true classical liberals when you compare them to a Murray Rothbard who I also greatly respect from a more anarchist point of view known by the term anarcho-captialism and I'd almost be willing to bet the farm that you are one of the few people here familar with all these terms whether you agree or not.
