Touche. An excellent article by someone with national credibility who did a little investigating and found....surprise...surprise...Sarah Palin is a GREAT candidate. David Broder even acknowledged it, and he is no friend of conservatives.

Sarah Palin is the only star in the GOP. and she is staunchly conservative and a person of unquestioned integrity. Why in the world would any conservative go look for someone else merely because people for whom we have no respect, and who loathe us (Dionne, Frum, Will, etc) tell us that we must do so?

We have our candidate. And we’ll have our President.

You've been right all along about this.

Do we need to start over with FREEPAC?

Ron Paul’s legislation would allow it to be illegal in any state that voted to make it illegal.

Right, it would hypothetically make abortion more difficult, but there is no reason to believe that it would save a single life.

Ron Paul OPPOSES a federal ban on abortion and I have seen nothing to suggest that he would support a constitutional personhood amendment. Ron Paul is just like a lot of other pro-choice politicians, he will talk about abortion and say that he hates it, but in the end he will do NOTHING to actually end it.

Do you believe that an individual state should be allowed to pass a law legalizing murder? *********************** For the record, I do not. There are some crimes that deserve and even require a federal interest.

It was the federal government which legalized murder (the Supremes via Roe v Wade) Shouldn't the states have the right to bow out of a law which requires the murder of an innocent human being? Actually they do have that right per the Constitution.

It’s really not very complicated. I don’t know why this is so hard to understand.

I like your strategy. Is Ron Paul the Queen Bee for the Rondamentalists?

I know who the Queen Bee for the RINOs is.

So basically what you are advocating is a bunch of libertarian truther nutjobs who idolize Ron Paul and will blindly follow any nutjob who mimics his rhetoric.

These people love the Reagan quote on libertarianism, but they systematically ignore this part (which happens to describe them perfectly):

"there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy."

Buckley might have voted for Paul. He died believing Iraq had been a huge mistake and that government had gotten out of control.

Although Ron Paul recently has said Personhood is a good thing,
he has an inconsistent vision about ending abortion.

Wagglebee, I am hooked on phonics. I read that line a million times. I’ve read this whole interview and have it all in context. As well as more important interviews and Reagan speeches.

All I am saying is that this is GOOD NEWS....It just proves that a trained chimp or cardboard cutout can run on a platform of liberty, freedom and the Constitution and win.

This should make all FReepers, Conservatives and patriots happy.

That, in turn, would save lives.

Actually, it proves that someone like Ron Paul can excite a bunch of college students who may or may not actually vote (as evidenced by his 6% showing in the GOP primaries).

Its very sad that people keep posting that Reason interview Reagan gave 35 years ago. Remember, Reason was a Libertarian Party publication and if I'm not mistaken remains so today. I've always thought Reagan was merely politicking for votes in that interview. After all, he would never again mention anything about libertarianism or the Libertarian Party in his entire political career.

Conversely, lets look at what Murray N. Rothbard, the founder of modern libertarianism had to say about the 40th President of the USA, Ronald Reagan.

"Eight years, eight dreary, miserable, mind-numbing years, the years of the Age of Reagan, are at long last coming to an end. These years have surely left an ominous legacy for the future: we shall undoubtedly suffer from the after-shocks of Reaganism for years to come."

"Many recent memoirs have filled out the details of what some of us have long suspected: that Reagan is basically a cretin who, as a long-time actor, is skilled in reading his assigned lines and performing his assigned tasks."

"As the Gipper, at bloody long last, goes riding off into the sunset, he leaves us with a hideous legacy."

"As he rides off into retirement, glowing with the love of the American public, leaving his odious legacy behind, one wonders what this hallowed dimwit might possibly do in retirement that could be at all worthy of the rest of his political career. What very last triumph are we supposed to "win for the Gipper"?"

Ronald Reagan: An Autopsy by Murray N. Rothbard, March 1989. LINK

I think Reagan was a lot kinder to libertarianism, then Rothbard was to Reagan. Btw, Murray Rothbard was a close friend, mentor and confidant to todays most popular libertarian, Ron Paul. And Ron Paul wasn't too kind to Reagan either.

You have yet to show how that would save a single life.

There are many areas of the country that don't have nearby abortuaries now, but women there still travel great distances to other abortuaries.

The way the founders created our confederacy

We're a constitutional republic, not a confederacy.

And our Constitution says that "no person shall be deprived of life" without a fair trial, and that the states are required to provide for the equal protection of the laws for all persons.

I don't believe I missed that.

The libertarians don't think the unborn actually are persons, they just don't want to come out and admit it.
