Two from Lew
LewRockwell.com links to some good articles today, as always, icluding the ones below.

Murray N. Rothbard writes about the politics of Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu: The Ancient Chinese Libertarian Tradition. I used to be an especially big fan of the latter philosopher, but I now find that Confucius and Mencius have more to say in practical politics. Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu give us a lot of good advice on how to lead our personal lives.

"The secret reformist history of the Ku Klux Klan" is exposed by Jesse Walker in Hooded Progressivism. A defining moment for me was realizing that Nazism, Racism, and Nationalism are Leftist tendencies, not Rightist ones as the state schools taught me.
