RIP Ronald Reagan

Seriously, UG it is okay for you to be a Neo-Con bent on building an overseas empire, just don't call yourself a Libertarian while you agitate for it. The greatest threat to American freedom right now is the Executive Branch of our own government. War making always ratchets up the power of the Presidency and as Robert Higgs contends that accumulated power doesn't just disappear when the bombs stop falling. That Libertarians are the only ones who recognize this is a sad state of affairs but thankfully we have folks like Radar who are willing to apply a "purity" test when the last voice for the old Republic is threatened with being watered down.
