Or that he was/is a Libertarian?

Did you know that Ronald Reagan considered libertarianism to be the "heart and soul of conservatism"?

Yes, he made that statement early in his career. That was before he started pushing for tougher laws on drug crimes. It would seem that libertarian ideals and culture had changed somewhat between those times in his life.

Can you imagine what he would think of their desire to cut and run in the face of enemies who attacked this nation?

Ronald Reagan never backed down from a challenge he thought could be overcome, or appeased in the face of danger. Ron Paul is an appeaser. If appeasement is the "heart and sould of conservatism", I don't want to belong to that brand of conservatism.
