Thanks.

And I didn't mean to piss anybody off, I just wished that Franco state some facts to back up that statement.

Yes, yes, I like where they have Ron in a profile shot, with rand in a similar pose behind him. A pose that reminds me of commie propaganda, which is rather appropriate considering how both lolbertarians and bolsheviks claim to have "the truth".

For example, Romney wants to deport illegals instead finding a way to actually preventing this crap from occuring from the first place. Then you Rick accusing blacks of stealing the rich people's money when that is not true. That proves the bigotry you see within the republican party.

With Newt, he has cheated on his wives not only once but twice. He wanted a open marriage to his second wife. Worse he cheated on his second wife when she had cancer. What type of man does that. Only whores like him and Edwards do that stuff. If Newt can't be faithful to one woman, how the **** do you expect him to faitful to a COUNTRY.

Eh? I link to The American Conservative in my signature for a reason; I'm a paleoconservative.

What's wrong with people being really supportive of him? Call it a cult if you want. I think it's just a matter of people really supporting this guy and being really excited about what he brings to the table.

Everything he said is pretty much an established fact.



These are both fairly popular videos, and there are countless others that more than prove his point.

Well as a policy, i don't click links on certain computers. But if you might point to a few places where Conservatives, specifically Paleoconservatives, differ from Libertarians?

For someone who's at best a Civil Libertarian, I don't see light between the two.

Well, the term "paleoconservative" is a neologism; it was first put to large use in the 80s, to distinguish them from the Neoconservative's and the Libertarian wings of the Republican party. Ideologically, Paleo's can be understood to be ideological successors of the interwar Republicans and, to a lesser extent, Dixiecrats.

Important issues of contention between Libertarians & Paleoconservatives would be on issues of trade (Paleoconservatives favor protectionism) and immigration (Paleo's trending against immigration in general and non-European immigration in particular).

In regards to Federalism (or states rights, if you prefer), there's difference on opinion within the movement on whether some social issues (abortion, drug war, gay marriage) should be devolved to local authorities or settled on a Federal level.
