I'm not a libertarian but I know the id...@Robt:<br />I'm not a libertarian but I know the ideology well enough to know that Rand Paul isn't one either (you might agree). <br />Libertarianism should be a call for a minimalist government (one that of course subsidizes the property rights of the rich but screw everyone else). This should mean a liberal approach to social issues like gay rights, abortion and Church/State. <br />Rand Paul is a social conservative who's only "libertarian" when libertarianism agrees with conservatism. He's anti-choice, anti-gay (on the state level) and pro-Evangelical. <br />That makes him a authoritarian conservative. <br />...and in other rebranding news, the so-called "Tea Party" has no fucking clue what the Constitution says or the Founding Fathers stood for. As an 18th-Century-phile, if you couldn't tell by my moniker, this really irks me.
