DES MOINES, Iowa -- Though she won't be a candidate when she delivers a major address at a tea party rally in Iowa on Saturday, Sarah Palin will make it clear that she if enters the presidential race later this month she will vociferously challenge Texas Gov. Rick Perrys engrained image of solidarity with the tea party movement.
In her speech at the bucolic National Balloon Classic field in Indianola, Palin will lean on loaded phrases like crony capitalism and permanent political class in laying out her view of the U.S. political systems deep-rooted ills, according to a source close to Palin and familiar with the content of the speech.
Though she will not call Perry out by name, Palins carefully couched rhetoric will leave the impression that she may soon draw more overt attention to one of the Texans potential vulnerabilities as a candidate: his history of doling out plum positions and other benefits to generous campaign donors during his nearly 11-year tenure as the nations longest serving governor.

Well, that is certainly 180 degrees from what you posted earlier. First, you refer to "libertarians" (no "big L" distinction) as "wack jobs like Ron Paul or drug legalizers" saying you "associate it" (the word libertarian -- not the "big L" party) "with anarchists" (see earlier exchange below, emphasis added). You attacked the poster who dared to call for leadership from a "conservative/libertarian." But now, in this recent post you include yourself as a libertarian. Rather Jekyll and Hydish, IMO.
quesney #2: will a real conservative/libertarian who understands and is willing to fight for free markets please stand up, or will RINOs snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Sola Veritas #207 : Please DONt use the term LIBERTARIAN to describe any REAL conservative like Palin. That title has become synominous with wack jobs like Ron Paul or drug legalizers. I personally associate it with anarchists. So, in my opinion....there is no such thing as a CONSERVATIVE LIBERTARIAN...it is an oxymoron. Words mean things.

I don’t like what the term “Libertarian” has come to mean by most. I made the distinction between big L and litte l because you evoked Ronal Reagan. I was attempting to explain Reagan’s meaning. Also, that some limited “concepts” of being a libertarian can be consistent with being conservative. However, I still hesistate to use the term, because of its meaning drift, to describe a true conservative. It is not my intent to irritate you or others.
