Greetings.

I was delighted to have the opportunity to author yet another brief treatise, which has been published in Issue CXCVIII of The Rational Argumentator today:

A Critique of Russell Kirk's "Libertarians: The Chirping Sectaries":
G. Stolyarov II
June 28, 2009
Russell Kirk’s 1981 essay, “Libertarians: The Chirping Sectaries,” is a shallow, unsophisticated ad hominem attack on the American libertarian movement. It contains an abundance of fallacies, mischaracterizations, false blanket generalizations, and outright lies about libertarians. Moreover, its intentions are hostile and destructive: to prevent the possibility of what might have been productive intellectual and practical cooperation between libertarians and some of the more reasonable conservatives. Here, Mr. Stolyarov endeavors to thoroughly refute Kirk’s arguments and to show that libertarians are not the chaos-loving demons Kirk depicts them as being.

Sincerely,
Gennady Stolyarov II
