Stopped reading here.
Go smoke free dope.
Poor Bob. Even the libertarians don’t like him.
See here for a look at the silliness of Libertarian purists and read the comments if you want your gut to turn at some of the defenses of child porn. Even if it is a third party, I'm not a member of.

While this used to adorn the home page of FR
Free Republic has sponsored several rallies at our nation's Capitol. The first was the nationally televised "March for Justice" on October 31, 1998, where Congressman Bob Barr called for the impeachment of President William Jefferson Clinton. The enthusiastic crowd of 4,000 FReepers also enjoyed rousing speeches by Alan Keyes, Larry Klayman, Gary Aldrich and other great conservatives. The MFJ was a moving experience for all.
Congressman Barr called the FReepers back to Washington on December, 5th, 1998, for the "Judgment Day" rally, held on the Capitol steps. He and many other conservative speakers urged the Congress to vote for impeachment. According to Barr and several other Congressmen, these rallies, coupled with ads we ran in the Washington Times, and the resulting surge of grassroots activism, helped to move some of the reluctant Congressmen to vote for impeachment.
We were cosponsors with the Free Congress Foundation for the "House Managers Tribute" rally and dinner honoring the House Managers on May 4th, 1999, at the Washington Hilton and Towers. All thirteen House Managers, plus Congressman Tom DeLay and many other conservative notables attended. Henry Hyde and Steve Forbes were our keynote speakers. Alan Keyes, Larry Klayman, Congressmen Bob Barr, James Rogan and Chris Cannon and many other conservative leaders spoke at the rally.
I now expect the new brand of (?)conservativism which posts here these days to try and trash this fine conservative man. But back then we sure appreciated his contributions to our cause.
“Even the libertarians don’t like him.”
The replies in the following thread suggest that’s an overgeneralization:

That was before he joined the ACLU, became a libertarian, adopted the foreign policy of Ron Paul?
Nah...just before your time.
Funny, I remember being well into adulthood long before Barr showed up in 1995

Whatever.
Your posts are very ...emotive.
It is interesting to watch some people retain their ability to be passionate about the Republican Party. It is a dead horse as a vehicle for conservatism. One would have to be on drugs to believe that either McCain or Obama is more the conservative then Bob Barr.
Barr is more conservative than McCain on most issues, no doubt. But that does not mean he is a conservative. He is a libertarian, with some conservative positions.
My posts are emotive because I linked to some of the crap the guy has been spewing in recent years. ROFL.
And FWIW, I ain’t a republican.

What part of Bipartisan-non-partisan do you not understand?
Barr, a former Member of Congress, has served with the U.S. Department of Justice and Central Intelligence Agency. He continues to serve on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association and works with such groups as the American Conservative Union Foundation and the ACLU on issues related to privacy and national security and also serves as the Chairman for Patriots to Restore Checks and Balances.
From the actions I have observed from the GOP...I suspect the biggest objection to the ACLU by Republicans is that they don't run it.
