Paul is hard to understand. He is against US involvement in foreign wars, but is OK with his own country being invaded.
Libertarianism is uncomfortable wit the concept of nation.
Also uncomfortable with anything that implies constraint on an individual. Most publically (usually loudly!) self proclaimed libertarians that I know conflate libertarianism with libertinism. Not only do they not want any outside party constraining them they don’t want to have any self constraint either.

He’s an open borders Libertarian. He hates America ever bit as much as AOC.
He is his Father’s son.
“He is against US involvement in foreign wars, but is OK with his own country being invaded.”
That sums it up perfectly.
From the article: “While Paul is concerned about proper procedure, his liberal enemies are advancing toward their next goal. While Paul is willing to surrender authority because of concerns over technicalities, the Democrats rush headlong into the next extra-constitutional power-grab that pushes the U.S. Republic closer and closer to dissolution.”
All these bastards in Congress worried about setting “precedent” that the future Dems will use against us. What folly that is. The Dems don’t give a damn about trivialities like that...with communists, it’s always “the ends justifies the means” regardless of trifles like the U.S. Constitution.
The thing that galls me to no end is that President Trump has the Constitutional executive powers and the existing legislated powers to declare this emergency, stop this foreign invasion, and redirect already-appropriated money as needed.
Great point. The Libertarians are no better than the left in using the Constitution to kill the country and ultimately killing the Constitution itself.
Yes, again the pure libertarian stand would say employers are kings, and should have a right to employ whomever they choose from wherever they choose. Logically that fits a libertarian standpoint. Pure ideology that ignores a real invasion on the border.
