How apropos to have this thread feature Ronald Reagan's statement about One Nation Under God:
If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals -- if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.

Good words and point Ronald Reagan. The Liberalism name is unfortunately sometimes dirtied by some leftist who either out of ignorance or desire for acceptance as a non-threat claim the title.(see John Stewart who once proclaimed himself to be a libertarian)

Wow, posting to yourself rather than discussing what a nut Ronpaul actually is.
Like we haven’t seen trolls do that before.
Jimmy Clyde did that often.

I notice you, like most paultards I've seen post that, leave out the next few sentences.

Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy. I believe there are legitimate government functions. There is a legitimate need in an orderly society for some government to maintain freedom or we will have tyranny by individuals. The strongest man on the block will run the neighborhood. We have government to insure that we don’t each one of us have to carry a club to defend ourselves.

Now you stoop to defaming President Reagan too.

LRon Paul: "I want to totally disassociate myself from the Reagan Administration." And in The Dallas Morning News: "Paul now calls Reagan a `dramatic failure.'"

Here's what President Reagan really thought of liberaltarians and LRon ....

Btw, were you also zotted truthfreedom too?
