Karen, when I was interviewed by a leftist recently, I told her that I did not respect any leftist—nor rightist, for that matter—who was anti-secession. The reaction by MediaMatters, in true commie/neocon fashion, is to say of Dobbs, OMG, he mentioned a website that "hosts several pro-secession articles"! To the guillotine with him. As is usual in these cases, MM makes no argument for the highly centralized nation state; it just calls for the destruction of anyone wanting freedom and self-government. As Tom DiLorenzo and Tom Woods have pointed out, one needs to know nothing else about "libertarians" who have the MediaMatters reaction to secession. They're just shills for the regime.
