Uh it´s the same thing, just a different idea of what is means and what is end. The dominant ideology in libertarianism is what I described before. it's called liberalism almost everywhere. (neoliberalism rings a bell? yeah, same idea applied to economic policy)
And now you confuse some libertarian with anarcho-capitalist libertarians.
Libertarians think any involvement of government causes less freedom. but they believe things like private property is essential to freedom so the government should only be there to protect it.
anyway ron paul should be fun.

I've been following Dr. Paul for about 6 months now, mostly on youtube because the big networks refuse him much airtime (it's getting slightly better as time goes on). Most people knock Dr. Paul because he's a libertarian at heart. When you take that face value you always think fanatical/stereotypical. To further explain that point, what do you normally think of when you think of a tried and true conservative? I myself as well as others I know always think of some redneck hillbilly with shotguns on the back of his pickup truck. Same goes for liberals, what do you think of first when that is brought up?
The biggest complaints I gather are from his economical policies. I want everyone who disagrees with his views on domestic programs to listen to this.
All three parts of this radio show are excellent, just from the standpoint of hearing his stances as well as debating (and in all honesty owning) against a liberal on domestic policy.

Don't people in America notice how the very same people who have been complaining about the welfare state's "bad" state are the very same people who have been dismantling it?
It's very easy to make self-fulfilling prophecies when you are in a position that allows you to fulfil the prophecy.
The worst thing is that the same thing is happening here, and more and more people are falling for it.
"The welfare system doesn't need that much money. The medical staff is already overpaid. They don't need that equipment."
*a week passes*
"The welfare system isn't working properly! Privatise! Replace it with something that will work! The market is governed by an invisible hand! Praise be the lo... erh.. FREEDOM TO CHOOSE!"

i liked him until he totally backpedaled on his comments about needing a new 9/11 investigation. the guys a pussy couldnt take the heat and couldnt stand up for his past statements. He also could never face or embrace the fact that almost his entire grass roots support was coming from the 9/11 truth movement and he totally abandoned them, fuck him
