As for Reagan? You are sadly mistaken on using Reagan as a role model for Libertariansim.

A bit of evidence as to your misguided opinion:

If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals -- if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is. -RONALD REAGAN, Reason Magazine, Jul. 1, 1975

A 35 year old quote - in light of the bastardization that leftists have made of his definition - no longer applies.

Sorry. But thanks for playing.
