Ronald Reagan from '75 Reason magazine:
"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.
Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy. I believe there are legitimate government functions. There is a legitimate need in an orderly society for some government to maintain freedom or we will have tyranny by individuals. The strongest man on the block will run the neighborhood. We have government to insure that we don’t each one of us have to carry a club to defend ourselves. But again, I stand on my statement that I think that libertarianism and conservatism are travelling the same path."
First of all, Reagan was a neo-con.
Second, his libertarianism resulted in the rise of globalism with the tyranny of multinational corporations and the free flow of labor across borders (meaning illegal aliens).
Call it what you like, but I say we need a form of populism that results from a government that prevents excessive power from accumulating in the hands of the few. The goal of the 'economy' should be to promote the welfare of the majority of the people of our nation, the workers who produce the wealth rather than elites who benefit from globalism and the treatment of people as cogs in the machine rather than the basis of the state.
Balance of power is the key, and libertarianism usually results in the concentration of power in the hands of bullies. Whatever he may have intended, Reagan's policies led to power in the hands of the globalist corporate elites.[b] If we do not insist on Voter ID, how can we stop illegals from voting?

I sure am sorry to see Good Old Fred Go

Well I would hardly call wanting to actually live by the Constitution as "anarchy". You do realize that Thomas Jefferson before his death was upset that the Federal Government had violated it and took upon itself more power than was intended. the fed were to have "finite and limited" powers and the SOVEREIGN states were to have "numerous and infinite powers"....the whole thing is tossed on its head and obviously the word "sovereign" like the word "liberty" doesn't hold its true meaning anymore.

So I guess we are both disgusted with "SOME" libertarians and "some" GOP (in fact the MAJORITY of both) as the "right thinking" and patriotic ones for our sovereignty and the proper constitutional seperation of powers are a small minority.
In fact I will go so far to state that the MASSIVE government that has been created that consumes our income has been created in a LARGE part by the GOP (not the Libertarian minded or "party") because these people IGNORE our Constitution in the limitation of the Federal Powers (and if anyone is in disagreement just look at the eighteenth and 21st ammendment for example of what is intended). Today we see the suspension of habeus corpus, warrantless searches, and we wonder what the socialists (beyond these fake conservatives of GOP) will do to further destroy our law as they take control of all branches of government. I will concede that the judiciary has seen the carnage and chose to urinate on it....there are particular decisions that are particularly agregious (recently on imminent domain, and earlier one that gets me is their expansive view of "commerce" convicting a farmer for growing whatever wheat he wanted to use on his own farm!!! (that particular case alone is the unraveling of the Republic, freedom and liberty and our very backbone if people paid attention).
Labels don't mean a hill of beans!!! It's actions that matter. Everyone knows people that "call" themselves things that they have no business claiming for themselves (just like most politicians should refer to themselves as liars and crooks but you never he them refer to themselves properly).

Pass the word "McCain is just another Democrat."

Our release on noncitizen voters is under attack!
