I don't understand why Free Republic has a special section on the front page for the Liberty Caucus, which are the Ron Paul people. They are a bunch of looney toons.

The Republican Liberty Caucus and FR used to be associated (the former’s forum was hosted here and is the RLC you see in the Topics). The RLC has gone through a major transformation, however, in the past decade. When I was a member of the Texas RLC, it was a lot of rational, libertarian leaning Conservatives. Now, they define themselves as “are you a Ron Paul Republican”. Most of the original RLC leaders have left and the vacuum was filled with the Ron Paul/Lew Rockwell types.

Good catch, flagwaver, hmmmmmm........

Conversely, the FR button may be on some libertarian sites and that is why so many are flocking over here.

I just went over there and snooped around a little and you're right. It's infested with Paul cultists. I wonder if that link was put up in the early days and the Paulestinians have taken it over since then? They're good at that and we all know they've tried (unsuccessfully) to do the same thing to FR.

I agree that it should be "de-linked."
