[Lnc-business] Pro-war??? Selection of Dan Fishman for Executive Director

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Mr. Fishman advocated voluntary solutions.  It is shocking to me how
fashionable anti-semitism has become in Libertarian circles.  Our past
platforms emphasized how there are no countries existing with clean hands
and neither side in that foreign dispute is sinner or saint.  I refuse to
police Mr. Fishman’s personal support that is not calling for the use of
state force.  It’s frankly none of my business and the growing intolerance
and cries for de-platforming (and de-employment) of different opinions that
do not entail coercion is not what we should be about.  It is quite uncouth
to attempt to torpedo a man’s lifetime of hard work over this difference in
opinion.  In fact, it’s downright ruthless and mean.
