You can accuse Rand Paul of being a Constitutionalist. I certainly hope that being a defender of the Constitution doesn't mean you're an "extreme libertarian."

Besides, I still remember what Ronald Reagan said about libertarianism.

Ronald Reagan: "If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism."


Rand Paul has an excellent voting record:

“You can accuse Rand Paul of being a Constitutionalist.”

Pure Horse Manure....he is a “constitutionalist” strictly from a Libertarian point of view.....which IS NOT a proper interpretation in many cases.

Look...the man can do whatever he wants....represent whatever state will elect him....he just needs to stop calling himself a Republican.

His father was a dangerous wack job on national defense...all in the name of the “constitution.” Little Rand is just like Daddy.

BTW - Don’t misquote Reagan. You know good an well his was NOT talking about “Libertarians” (moral libertines on many issues) in the misquote you use. You are just a plain liar on the level of Obama to misrepresent Reagan in that manner.

Welcome to Fr.

If you notice, Reagan wasn’t a libertarian, and all that you have from him is that little quote from 1975 when during his campaign, he was being interviewed by the libertarians, solely for a libertarian audience, that quote looks pretty lonely when explained.

Reagan was a conservative and did not endorse the leftism of the libertarians, although they largely supported his conservative economics.

Here is the leftists agenda hidden behind the Libertarian Party curtain.

Libertarian Party Platform:

Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”.

Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.

Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments.

Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.

Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, and anything new that science can come up with, zero restrictions.

Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions.

Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
