Interesting couple of posts up at the Art of the Possible blog by Kevin Carson, who takes a look at Rothbard’s ’60s/’70s alliance with the Left and the wider movement of Left-Rothbardians, including Karl Hess and Samuel Konkin.
And over at the Left Conservative blog, a few thoughts from Dylan on paleo Right/decentralist Left common ground:

I’ve spent rather more time than I ought to have done commenting on my own article at Taki and participating in some back and forth with Daniel Larison. Not that all of this isn’t fun and educational, but I have a living to earn, and I’m much less prolific than Daniel L.
Check out the links [...]
Here’s the link to my piece at Taki’s Magazine on nationalism and patriotism. There’s quite a bit of back-and-forth in the comments section.
In a nutshell, I say that patriotism has been taken to excess, particularly by conservatives, and nationalism (which is not simply excessive patriotism, but a distinct idea) is actually something that the United [...]
Light updating for the past two days or so since I’ve been busily hammering out an essay on nationalism and patriotism for Taki’s Mag. Need to finish tonight, so I’ll postpone any substantial posts for a while longer yet.
Meanwhile, check out @TAC for new posts by Clark Stooksbury, Tom Piatak, Phil Giraldi, and more. [...]
I have a rather discursive post up at Taki’s Magazine that draws together a few recent threads about Obamacons, Jim Webb, and the futures (such as they are) of conservatism and paleoconservatism.
Addendum: Memes relating to the subjects above have been making the rounds on several blogs. I’ll just link to three threads here: [...]
Not only is the official campaign’s Daily Dose still going strong, in the able hands of Matt Hawes, but now my friend and former Ron Paul 2008 colleague Patrick Semmens has set up a group blog for past and present campaign staff. RonPaulBlog.com is the URL; so far Patrick and former finance director Jonathan Bydlak [...]
A few words of wisdom — true then and true today — from H.L. Mencken’s favorite politician, the great Sen. James A. Reed (D-Mo.):
Truth to tell, Washington has become the universal Mecca of human freaks. To that city protagonists of vagaries gravitate by all known routes, some by election, some by appointment, and some by [...]
I think Paul Gottfried is altogether too optimistic when he says that the neocons won’t control the Right forever in his post-paleo piece up at Taki’s Magazine. I’m not one to discount “changing historical conditions,” but I wouldn’t count on any changes in the cards in the near future to rid us of the neos. [...]
The New York Times warns that blogging can kill you. Tell me about it. And I’m not even very prolific.
Here’s the LA Times obit. My favorite Heston movie? Toss-up between “The Omega Man” and “Soylent Green.” I’d give the latter a slight edge.
