Why Ron Paul Should Never Be Called a Libertarian Again, but will because he has some sort of cloak that makes him a super tough guy patriot

I've gotten a number of emails asking why Ron Paul's existence at the Values Voter Summit makes me like him less (yes even a few from Paultards telling me I'm not smart enough to understand how great he is).  I mentioned this in a post a couple days ago. And here's the short story of why.

As a primer, I would never vote for anyone who is courting the votes of people who follow Tony Perkins and his Christian Right neanderthals.  They are scary End Timers who cheer on War Without End.  They are as fake as they come and did I mention scary.  They claim to possess and seek out others who will represent their moral and family values.  In reality, there is nothing moral about anything they say or do.  The very thought that someone would compete for the votes of these people is disgusting.

On a more ideological note, someone who claims to be a libertarian, like Ron Paul so famously does, would not in anyway give End Timers or their conference the time of day.  That's not to say that Ron Paul or someone who is a libertarian can't be religious or subscribe to an element of faith.  I'm not saying that at all.  Of course they can do all that.  But a true libertarian does not believe in combining religion with politics.  And that's exactly the intent of the conference, to combine religion with politics. More precisely, a libertarian would not pander for their votes and certainly wouldn't give a speech like Paul did talking about how faith guides his political judgments.

Considering Ron Paul's pandering of the Values Voter Summit, his stance on abortion, his stance on gay marriage and equal rights, it's impossible to label him a libertarian.  He's not.  He's a Republican.  And judging from his recent winning of the Values Voter straw poll, his speech to the End Timers and his insistence on white male victimization he's no different than any other Republican who has run for president since the 80s.
