Elitism
Posted on January 20th, 2008 by Kip
I am adding Publius Endures to The Elite Eleven.
This new libertarian blog (I think “publius endures” is Latin for “Why should I have to endure the public?”) focuses on
the principles espoused in Madison’s Federalist Number 10: namely that factions (aka “interest groups”) cannot be controlled or eliminated without unacceptable effects on liberty. The best that can be hoped for is for government to permit as many factions/interest groups as possible so that no one faction ever gains too much power.
I’ve been known to quote Federalist #10 every so often…
This new entry replaces Atlas Blogged.

Thanks Kip!
I am honored.
Kip, we always felt honored that you had included us on the Elite Eleven, but it was a running joke among the authors at Atlas Blogged that we violated requirement #3 in the extreme. Our fulfillment of requirements #2 and 4 might be questioned as well.
Anyway, I'll be sure to check out Publius Endures. A first glance seems very promising.
