Emmett Tyrrell Editor of American Spectator, Former Ohio Sec. of State Ken Blackwell, guests on "Libertarian Politics Live"

Blackwell agrees with Rand Paul: I would have voted for 9 out of 10 provisions of the '64 Civil Rights Act

"Libertarian Politics Live" the official blog talk radio show for Libertarian Republican had two impressive guests on Thursday night's show.

Andre Traversa together with Co-Host "Right Guy" Jim Lagnese at the Switchboard hosted "Bob" Emmett Tyrrell, decades-long Editor & Publisher of the distinguished American Spectator magazine. Right off the bat, Tyrell made a bit of news by referring to himself as a fellow "libertarian."

"Make no mistake about it. Libertarian-Conservatism is winning..." -- Tyrrell (12:30 minutes in)

Tyrell went on to talk about his new book "After the Hangover," a 40-year history of the conservative movement. He also took David Frum to task for his NeoConservatism and recent criticisms of Rush Limbaugh.

Tyrell: Canadian Prime Minister Harper a "libertarian"

Tyrrell made a bit of news of a more international flavor, at one point talking of his longstandin friendship with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He called him a solid "conservative," and then went on to say he's a "libertarian." (11 minutes in.)

The second guest for a 15-minute segment was former Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell. The Secretary was on to defend Rand Paul from his uniquely conservative African-American perspective. He said that he knew Ron Paul personally and called the younger Paul a "stand up guy."

Blackwell stated categorically that if he would have been a congressman in 1964 he would have voted for the Civil Rights Act, but would have worked to repeal the one provision impeding on the rights of business owners to decide for themselves.

"The Bus owners weren't the problem; the government was the problem"
