Entry: Ron Paul: The Conscience of Conservatism Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/ron_paul_the_conscience_of_conservatism1#2249 Post contents: The old joke about libertarians is that they were Republicans that smoke dope (or have unconventional sexual habits). It's really true. The problem with "libertarianism" is that it comes in two varieties, the Alan Greenspan/CATO-AHF/Dick Cheney version, or "establishment" version, which is merely an apology for the excesses of crony capitalism and socialism for the rich. The other is the the more traditional, uniquely American Lysander Spooner or "populist" version. Ron Paul's stands against unrestrained immigration, abortion-on-demand, redefining marriage just show he's real libertarian of the traditionalist variety. Not some pimp for the CEO classes and Wall Street Bankers like Dick Cheney or Alan Greenspan. Sent at: 2008 07 20
