"No, I am not a libertarian."
Yet you claim to know libertarian views on border issues and abortion?
Organized libertarians today are running away from the open border platform because they know it is a death nail on any candidate. The classic meaning of libertarianism is to allow open borders, abortion, drugs, and just about anything close to anarchy.
I was a democRAT when I first voted for RR in 80' He didn't believe in whacked out conspiracy theories, and neither do I.
Using Ronald Reagan as an example to compare with Ron Paul is absurd.
“Yet you claim to know libertarian views on border issues and abortion?”
I find it prudent to learn about the candidates. Ron Paul is a candidate. Much has been made of his prior association with the libertarian party. You for one lead me to research more in depth with your thrashing and bashing of RP and libertarianism. Then I find that Ronald Reagan believed conservatives and libertarians were walking the same path. This generated my interest even more.
Thanks
