The Pauls have ALWAYS pro-choice on abortion, they can try to explain it any way they want but in the end they are just fine with nearly 4000 babies being murdered each day.
While he has been doing that in different venues and on other social issues, he is also loudly proclaiming this as the moment for libertarianism.
Paul is running a liberal campaign under the radar, and firming up a libertarian base, that many conservatives are not noticing.
I was at a YAF convention where we were debating our platform and in the resolution on the draft, we agreed with the entire resolution, but got into a disagreement over six words — “except in time of declared war.” The people who wanted to take it out got attacked by those who wanted to leave it in as “libertarians”, and someone raised a “point of personal privilege”, objecting to being so labelled.
“The Constitution is hardly “a weak straw man issue”.”
Nice try.
It is your faulty characterization of conservatives regarding intelligence, that is the straw man.
International activities are sometimes necessary, but as Pat Buchanan put it, “conservatives are reluctant internationalists.” We tend to a pragmatic nationalist view, neither internationalist nor isolationist.
Have you read Frank Meyer?
there’s a significant difference between Libertarian and libertarian
that’s a big ‘L’ Libertarian
How about....
Most of our government’s economic policy is fascist, rather than the more traditional left-wing varieties of socialism (and fascism is a variety of socialism.) It’s nominal private property with heavy government control, corporatism, and heavy taxation.
When I was in high school, a friend asked me if the Soviets fought the Red Chinese, who would win?
Without hesitation, I answered, America would.
Howdy Hale, I haven’t heard from you in a bit.
That’s a good attitude to have, because I’d rather fight on someone else’s turf, rather than my own.
If Hitler had been done in early, we still would of had to deal with Russia, but it would of been a whole different ballgame at that point.
My problem with your box of ideology is that the quadrants are biased.
It is Libertarian-centric. The libertarian labels are neutral and gullible, whereas the conservative ideology is without a true quadrant. Fascist is an epithet.
It would be like a conservative making the quadrants: Reagan conservative, establishment conservative, conservative/libertarian, anarchist.
I only can speak about the ones I know. I’m not so presumptuous as to claim that I know about any others.
| You can either be a lib or a conservative. But you can't be both. Have you read Frank Meyer? |
You mean Frank Meyer the Communitst?
No, not really.
That situation is ridiculous too. Unless we’re not being told everything, why is he still there? I’d send in extraction teams, to hell with their country, they don’t respect anyone else’s country.
The funny thing is, if libertarians and conservatives banded together to work on what both sides have in common, we’d crush the opposition and each get about 80% of what we want. We could fight over the remaining 20% afterwards.
Absolutely true. The Libertarians have ruined the word. We should retire it.
How about....
What makes your link "better information"? The fact that it has zero footnotes rather than 58? Or that you put your link in a larger font? Talk about blindly accept whatever makes one's theory look good ...
Whatever that means, you didn’t say anything.
