Before They Hated Ron Paul, They Hated Barry Goldwater

Please, let's not confuse Barry Goldwater with Ron Paul-- a conservative leader with a libertarian gadfly.

What did Ronald Reagan say about libertarianism, again?

Inside Ronald Reagan

Reason Magazine
July 1975

REAGAN: 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.
