Ok, she gets a cookie for praising him.

Soon all of these establishment types will walk, talk and act just like us...but remember, they are here to shape this revolution in their favor. They know there is a ground shift coming, they need it as badly as us, but they need it to usher in socialism instead of Liberty.

This Revolution must not be diverted, co-opted, distracted and watered down... we need to look for action from any representative of liberty - not words alone. Their (PTB) actions will betray them every time.

IMO, the Dems have a deliberate new strategy now of trying to pump this "schism" between Ron Paul (libertarian) Republicans and Neocons. It's a winning strategy if your goal is to break up and disable the GOP. In the long run, though, it could have very serious blowback. This could literally cause the breakup of the GOP into two schools - fiscal conservative libertarians and religious warmonger neocons. the former could draw huge, huge numbers of democrats, especially if the economy and taxes get worse. Dems should be careful what they wish for. A highly religious, warmongering GOP is easy to beat.

Religion and libertarianism are not mutually exclusive.

generally speaking, libertarians do not favor banning drugs and porn and prostitution and gambling like religious whackos do.

That's because the "religious whackos" figured out years ago: making sinning illegal just makes it that much more exciting. Obviously not because they choose not to partake in those activities.....
 
Ok, what's the topic again?

Hillary!

*senses off-topic religious debate again*

I think you are partly right.

First, I agree they they are attempting to create division amongst across the conservative community, which include libertarians.

Second, they are creating this division to create many smaller subgroups, each with less power.

Third, I think they will create nuanced differences between each of these subgroups, and then pit each subgroup against the other and allow them to attack each other.

Finally, I think they will also directly attach these subgroups, with the Ron Paul subgroup being setup for attack right now as crazy, wacky and insane Tea Baggers.

I don't think there was any elaborate scheme here. I'm sure Clinton knows that Paul is one to ask the tough questions that no one else will and figures that by greasing him up a bit can make him think twice about asking the super tough questions. Of course, that won't work, but I can see that being her thought process.
