Reagan Man:
I have neither the time nor the desire to get into a long, extended debate with you over the merits and principles of the the RLC or Ronald Reagan. Suffice it to say that your interpretation of Reagan as some great "Biblical" Republican are unfounded. While he was Governor of California, Reagan revealed his civil libertarian side when he publicly opposed an anti-gay ballot proposition. Reagan was also a staunch supporter of free-market capitalism, much to the chagrin of liberals and Democrats. In my mind, Reagan's political qualities can be considered libertarian in nature. By the way-- libertarians have been accused of being anarchists, but these charges are completely unfounded. Reagan was correct: true libertarianism is essentially true conservativism. Of course, Religious Righters will disagree, and that is their perogative.

the true position of the religious right is a form of libertarianism. we're not radical libertarians who are in favor of legalized murder, but in the majority of cases we agree with the libertarians. God instituted 4 types of government: self, family, church, and civil. the civil gov't has overstepped its God-given rights/duties, and infringed upon the rights of the others. because of this, Christian conservatives are very libertarian in nature as we want less gov't, and we really despise the gov't that we are currently being oppressed by. i am very much in support of Ron Paul, and i hope he runs for prez someday (a combined republican, libertarian, constituion party ticket?).
