Unless there is more than one RaceBannon, you posted a Tea Party report yesterday that talked about the “pretty libertarian ladies” in attendance.
I don’t think Ron Paul can be viewed apart from libertarianism any more than jihad can be viewed apart from islam.
The only reason I have pointed out libertarian associations is that the increase in libertarian posting on FR has been dramatic during the past year. They are almost always at Tea Parties, and yes they carry “End the Fed” signs, sell the Ron Paul book, the whole bit. “End the Fed” supposedly has to do with cutting govt spending, I don’t know, but it sounds an awful lot like wanting to dissolve the union (the USA).
In addition, I think there is a real possibility of libertarians pushing the Tea Party activists into a 3rd party. I don’t see this as being good for our Nation.
Actually, there is a gap between the Libertarian party and Ron Paul, although it is inside baseball knowledge. One of the reasons I suspect why Paul and his pals like Lew Rockwell aren’t welcome in the party machine. Look up the 1988 fund-raising scandal that revolved around his campaign.
So, I am not allowed to think Libertarians are like a stopped clock?
Why, I think I am!
Yet, Libertarians themselves can also think Ron Paul is a Moron!
and I think many do!
