If you were more educated on the subject you would know that he wants a return to constitutional principles--especially when dealing with foreign threats. He supports the old school way of declaring war (or in the terrorists' case, letters of reprisal) Read the constitution, understand it, and then call yourself a libertarian next time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728161.post-54569183333360761242009-11-28T10:16:27.275-08:002009-11-28T10:16:27.275-08:00It's issues, as well.

And note - she's got strong ties to the Libertarian Party of Alaska.<br /><br />Whereas Ron Paul (not his son Rand who is much more like Palin), represents a far out unpopular and even whacky fringe of the Libertarian movement. His isolationist views are jarring to most Libertarians, most especially those of us who see fighting Islamic Fascism as just as important as figting big government.<br /><br />It's laughable to see Prima Donna Raimondo in the video above befuddled as to what to make of Sarah Palin. <br /><br />Sorry Justin, it's Palin 2012, and Rand Paul 2010 who are the future of the Republican Party; not Ron Paul's nutty isolationism and surrender to Islamic extremism. <br /><br />Eric Dondero, Publisher<br />Libertarian RepublicanEric Donderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763399145451696076noreply@blogger.com
