Clearly I am a conduit by which Palmer can attack Lew and Justin when there happens to be nothing good to get them on. I don't have anything at all to do with all these old queens and their decades-old, bitter bitch feuds. Palmer knows nearly nothing at all about me, or what I believe, or the millions of other words I have written. Here's just a bit of clarification:

1) I am not a Lew Rockwell columnist. I used to send stuff in to Lew back when I was a kid, but that was about FIVE years ago now. Doesn't exactly qualify me as staff. Hell, I started anti-state.com in 2001 because I just wasn't a match for that site, and I didn't really like being on the same page as retards like Gary North and other dingbat South-lovers. Whatever, at least now it's a good reason to finally ask that I be removed from the columnist roster and have my archive page deleted.

I have nothing to do with Confederate worship, slavery-apologies (I even call Thomas Jefferson "slave rapist" and have many threads on ASC about how the South was a third world backwater because of slavery). I am not a racist -- even by Palmer's outrageously loose definition of the word. I despise religion in all its forms (even statism). Most of the people at ASC, along with me, criticize the likes of Hoppe on the grounds that he's trying to justify his racism with economics. I have consistently advocated for immigration for all people to all areas of the world on the basis that if certain skin colors and cultures are not borne by the market, they deserve to go the way of cassette tapes. Pretty much everything you could criticize LRC writers for you could not pin on me. All I ask is that you get the facts straight and at least KNOW your enemy (you may realize he's not very much of an enemy at all).

2) I'm not sure if this is intentional, but Palmer makes it seem like I am the one who complained that he "smeared" me. I am not at all, that was Justin, and I actually complained about that to HIM. A quote is not a smear. He just made things worse.

3) The enemy of my state is not a friend of mine, and nowhere have I EVER said this. But there are thousands of words on the ASC forum showing how they are NOT my friends. If a quote deep in an old thread is pertinent enough to quote as the substance of an expose, certainly the critic can take the time to find out what I really think about the subject as a whole, and the reasons I think this way. But nobody ever took that time -- accuracy gets in the way of a good vendetta. Palmer and the Randroids at SoloHQ (they were by far worse than Palmer) simply made up things about me and ignored literally everthing else I ever wrote on the subject.

There is probably a lot more I am leaving out that needs addressing, but a good look should be taken at the comment thread on my blog post, where I clarify a lot of my position (and other ASCers make complimentary comments).

The good stuff starts on the second page. I'm currenty "Celia" (with the blue wig) but I have added "Jeremy" under my profile so that you can more easily follow.

For more, check out Joel Wilcox's Soldiers Are the State, and its corresponding comment thread. And then also my post "Iraq Was Better Under Saddam" where I respond to critics on another blog.

I hope this helps fix your understanding of my views. If you're gonna hate me, hate me for the right reasons.
