Seems to me I hear Libertarians say the same thing.
He was a registered independent. *cough*Paultard*cough* is a possibility. Just sayin’
And the pot stuff is relatively similar. He could be somewhat ‘libertarian’ I suppose, but mostly schizophrenic.
I’ve never agreed with much libertarianism/pothead thinking though. Liberalism/libertarianism/pothead thinking are all completely the opposite of conseravatism, at least the Reagan-style I think of.

While many libertarians may oppose preemptive war (I'm not one of them), I can't find anywhere in the Constitution which defines what would characterize an "illegal" war. That's Leftist tripe.
I hear the term "illegal war" from Marxists, not libertarians.
Since the President is the Commander-In-Chief, he can order our armed forces into any situation he chooses, with or without a formal Declaration of War by Congress.
If the President wages a War which is sufficiently against the will of the People and/or Congress, the only punishment which can be imposed while the President is in office is to impeach him.
IMHO, however, we should have formally declared War on Al Qaida, just to make it perfectly clear. However, during wartime, as we all know, civil liberties can be more easily restricted. But this situation would allow for profiling, for example, which is what we should be doing instead of harassing the citizenry in general, such as the TSA is now doing. This practice would obviously provide better security in the long run.
