I stand corrected on abortion, I guess.
Canada and Mexico are but 2 of more than 186 sovereign nations, does not a Libertarian open immigration policy make.
Although NWR, marijuana decriminalization is but one teensy-weensy sneeze toward the absurd, ummm, utterly irresponsible and absurb policy of drug legaization.
And done without a personal attack.

It was not my intention when I posted this press release to get into a debate over Ronald Reagan's policies. He was not a perfect man, but he was a great President who deserves praise for all the good things that he strove for and accomplished. All Americans, be they Republican or Libertarian or Democrat or whatever, should mourn his passing. And I think this press release certainly expresses that sentiment.

When you questioned the motives of Libertarians, and brought up several issues which you believed would bolster your line of attack, I thought that it was appropriate to respond with a few facts to assist your "recall" (as you yourself phrased it). No, Ronald Reagan was not a libertarian (I wish he had been), but he did have a strong streak of libertarianism in his philosophy. It's easy to understand why many libertarians admired both him and his rhetoric in support of individual freedom.

Despite whatever flaws President Reagan may have had, he left our country and the world a far better place than he found it.

I feel proud to live in Simi Valley, the home of the Ronald Reagan Library.

Was it utterly irresponsible to legalize the drug alcohol?

Both "absurd" and "absurb," eh? Strong words! ;-)
