I feel like there is a view among some self-proclaimed libertarians that racism is a personal belief and that personal beliefs should never be criticized. Their only concern is what the government is doing. Needless to say, I'm not a fan of this approach to promoting limited government.

Washington has âshoweredâ the US steel industry with protection from import competition for decades. Yet the industry continues to struggle, and steel prices in the US are among the worldâs highest. More protectionism will only exacerbate this long-term trend.
