if an ideology is to be damned because of its racist origins and uses, it is not the classical liberalism, or libertarianism, of Jim Buchanan - for as Jim's (and my) long-time colleague David Levy (and Sandy Peart) point out, that ideology has an honorable history of opposing racism when opposing racism wasn't cool.

The ideology that we should damn - were we to follow the implied counsel of all of the "Progressives" who are praising MacLean's book - is none other than "Progressivism." That ideology, as Thomas Leonard documents with evidence (rather than innuendo), truly is rooted in racism.
