Can someone explain to me how Bob Barr is a libertarian?

If I recall, wasn't he as of a couple of years ago a pro-life, pro-drug war, anti-gay marriage Republican?

I don't think Barr is credible as a libertarian; but on another note, I see no problem with someone being A Pro life /anti-abortion libertarian, for the defense of the innocent and of all life is perfectly in line with liberty. check out libertarians for life. http://l4l.org

So long as he's for throwing it back to the individual states to decide, I don't have a problem with that. The feds shouldn't have any authority in the matter.

I think Bob Barr is useful in that when having conversations with stupid pro- empire republicans, we can point to a 'mainstream' GOPer who, in his rhetoric at least, opposes the encroaching tyrany. Pat buchanan is another sack who most idiots know who he is... 'a long time credible republican against the war'.

we have to present things really simply when getting folks to think, IMO. the majority of mainstream does usually not even concede that there are repubs against the war.

Don't try to argue with the stupid. People who were in the GOP and saw the light before now (for purposes of disclosure, that would be me) have already bailed on the party. They were merely ignorant. Nothing wrong with that. We're all ignorant at one point or another. Those who are left in the GOP are stupid. Ignorance is correctable but "stupid" means forever.
