Here's a quote by one of my "fusionist" (combining conservatism and libertarianism) intellectual heroes, Frank S. Meyer in his The Conservative Mainstream:
I still can't get over the chart Andrew Coulson posted at Cato's website.
Is there a human right to clothing like some are arguing for health care? Well, notice that the free market helps a lot more than any other organizing principle. Even in far-flung places in Africa it's common to see folk wearing our cast-offs, even if it strikes us as odd to see a Ugandan boy wearing a Michael Jordan shirt.Competition [in education] would have made educational opportunities as common as it has made the automobile. (p.431)
