These guys cling to that little out of context piece of a 1975 interview by libertarians of Reagan, like it is the only thing to cling to.
It is, the rest of the quote and the interview moves Reagan away from the libertarians that were interviewing him that day in 1975.
Reagan’s RECORD of social conservatism should be more than enough to make the libertarians realize that he was NEVER one of them.
Good for you. Yes, a libertarian would never have tried to appoint Robert Bork to the USSC. He also would have never implemented the “We Ask, Don’t Join” policy for the military.
