  Cato @ Liberty — Authority: 743
  From the best for-pleasure book I read (so far!) in 2009, Notes on Democracy : The Cheerful Visage of H. L. Mencken “The fact is that liberty, in any true sense, is a concept that lies quite beyond the reach of the inferior man’s mind.  He can imagine and even esteem, in his way, certain false forms of ...

  Liberty Maven Liberty Maven: For Liberty, One Individual At A Time — Authority: 566
  The opening clip of Saturday Night Live last night featured a rather thorough dressing down of Obama. I had to kept checking the channel to make sure it wasn’t the Glenn Beck show I was watching.

  Liberty Maven Liberty Maven: For Liberty, One Individual At A Time — Authority: 566
  “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” – H. L. Mencken I’m tired of the health care debate.

• Solutions and implosions on the path to liberty

  
  Liberty Maven Liberty Maven: For Liberty, One Individual At A Time — Authority: 566
  Allow me to apologize in advance for my continued adoration of the great Robert Higgs. In his latest piece he details the reasons why he is hesitant to champion “solutions” to the tyranny of State power. Higgs is a modern day H.L. Mencken. Sure, he’s a cynic and some may consider him a pessimist, but he’s ...

• Why I am a not a Liberal

  
  The Tax Lawyer's Blog — Authority: 434
  Progressives and liberals like to criticize conservatives for being antiquarian and stuck in the past.

  Scenarios and Strategy — Authority: 104
  A guest post from (Roughly Daily) : source But then, Zippy can console himself that, as recent honoree H.L. Mencken observed, “no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.” As we revisit our plans to open that book store , we might recall that this is the ...
