Here’s what people are saying about Joe Sobran:

“No one so explicitly or deftly connects what is happening in the world today to the loss of our freedom and the systematic usurpations of government — absolutely no one. Sobran is a cross between Mencken, Nock, and Cato’s letters.”
— Sheldon Richman, editor of Ideas on Liberty magazine

“Perhaps the finest columnist of our generation.”
— Patrick J. Buchanan

“Joe Sobran is a national treasure.”
— Llewellyn Rockwell Jr.
