Entry: Ron Paul versus the Beltway "Libertarians" Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/ron_paul_versus_the_beltway_libertarians#8120 Post contents: Interesting discussion. Just by way of introduction, this is my first visit to this site. I've considered myself a L-/libertarian since late in high school in the mid-'80's when FEE held a workshop for my debate team (my mother curses that day). I generally adore Reason (disclosure: I've written exactly one article for them) and generally think of Cato as a positive force--though their seeming lack of enthusiasm for Paul disappoints. Abortion and immigration are not my favorite policy areas for Ron Paul (though even here, especially when read between the lines, he is more to my liking than most of his GOPponents), yet I enthusiastically support him because of the total package and the rarity and significance of this opportunity (win or not). It's worth mentioning that Reason's blog comments supporting Paul easily outnumber those opposing. Numerous positive posts by editors, too. Sent at: 2008 07 04
