On June 18, 2004, Neal Boortz was talking about school children and school bus stops,
and Mr. Boortz declared: "I am a social darwinist."
I believe that people would listen to a more intelligent radio talk show, if it were aired at
the same time that Neal Boortz is aired in Atlanta, Georgia. I listen to Neal Boortz often,
and only because there is nothing else, nothing better, to listen to during Boortz's air time.
"America's rude awakening" is a very cute little motto. I just believe a radio talk show host
can and should take a principled and intelligent stand for what they believe, even while
allowing some intelligent debate, some informed disagreement.
In my opinion, Boortz is about as much a libertarian as Stalin was a socialist. Neal Boortz
is a statist-libertarian, and Joseph Stalin was a state-socialist. Both of them were/are
statists. Even Boortz has expressed a good opinion of dictatorship. Boortz believes that
most of the people are too stupid to live in freedom, that these people deserve to live under
a dictatorial form of government. I suppose thatStalin believed that too many people in the
former Soviet Union were just too thoughtless to live in freedom, and so he established a
totalitarian and autocratic dictatorship in order to generate fear and to eliminate freedom.
Every statist has some warm feelings for fear. Every statist has some dislike of freedom.
Neal Boortz is a libertarian-statist, he is not a libertarian-anarchist. If there can be a
libertarian-fascist, Boortz is one, in my opinion. Of course, Boortz does not like being called
a fascist, although he's very fond of using that name for the Democratic Party leaders he
most dislikes.
Of course, Neal Boortz says he's all for freedom of speech. Isn't that like the wealthy being
all for property rights?
"We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past
and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot
foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship."
-- Edward Morgan Forster
