Libertarian blogs are everywhere disguised as "economics blogs"

A blog entry on econlib about the phenomenon of libertarian economist bloggers. I found myself in this paragraph, even if I am not all that libertarian anymore:

To understand the real story of GMU econ blogging, you have to know our biographies.  (Several are right here).  None of us discovered economics in a mainstream econ class, found it fascinating, then decided to try to ascend the academic hierarchy.  Instead, our inspiration came from libertarian books, libertarian friends, and libertarian intellectuals, plus our broader reading in philosophy, history, and the history of economic thought.  Once we fell in love with ideas, we asked, "How can I make a career out of this?"  We would have preferred to be instantly anointed as public intellectuals.  But the best realistic path, we learned, was "Become a professor of economics."  

I don't want to be a professor of economics, though. I want to do something a little more practical and hands on and involved. I want to cooperate. Sure you can cooperate on faculty of an ideological economics department at GMU by teaming up against Krugman in the blogosphere, but I don't consider that very helpful to the disadvantaged of this world. Too bad I'm such a hypocrite right now.
