[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

He’s a Libertarian, not a conservative.

He's not a conservative?

• 50 years of marriage to one woman
  
• 5 children, 18 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild
  
• Pro-life, delivered 4,000 babies, spoke at National Right to Life
  
• Lifelong defender of the 2nd Amendment
  
• Wants to abolish Dept of Ed, Housing, Energy, etc.
  
• Supports traditional Robert Taft Republican foreign policy (also the same foreign policy candidate Bush ran on in 2000)
  
• Believed in federalism years before the rock star of FR Fred Thompson was talking about it
  
• Believes in individual and property rights

So you're saying that my list above doesn't constitute the Republican Party?

I don’t want to get in a dispute regarding ideological classification with you, but Paul’s foreign policy positions (it’s not inaccurate to call them neo-isolationist), anti-war stance, flirting with the 911 troofer kooks, and pro-legalization of drugs are not consistent with Libertarian orthodoxy than the conservative core of the Republican party.

I’m not saying being a Libertarian is a bad thing, just that it’s different than being conservative.
