"Hey, did you know that Ronald Reagan called libertarianism the heart and soul of conservatism?"

Yes, and right after that he added:

" Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy."
-- Reason magazine, 1975

Thought you could slip one by the ol' robertpaulsen, eh?

Bob, you know as well as I do that libertarianism and the Libertarian Party are two different things. You also know that VagThang's graphics are boring and overused.

True, Reagan did say those things, but that doesn't excuse anyone who believes that libertarianism itself is equal to anarchism. That's just propaganda.
