MOVEMENT NEWS

From Eric Dondero:

We strive to bring both the good news, and the bad, here at LR, and sometimes even the ugly, as it relates to the libertarian Republican movement. Our policy on Ron Paul has always been, and remains to this day, we agree with him wholly on domestic issues (economics and civil liberties), but disagree with him vehemently on foreign policy.

That said, we now report that YAF, the Young American for Freedom, have suddenly and unceremoniously kicked Ron Paul off of their Advisory Board. Paul has served on their Board since the mid-1970s.

The dispute came over Paul's remarks over the weekend at C-PAC, where he placed the blame for the rise of Radical Islam in Egypt and other Nations on US foreign interventions.

Says Jordan Marks, YAF National Director as quoted by Politico:

"It's a sad day in American history when a one-time conservative/libertarian stalwart has fallen more out of touch with America's needs for national security then our current socialist presidential regime.

Rep. Paul is clearly off his meds and must be purged from public office. YAF is starting the process by removing him from our national advisory board. Good riddance and he won't be missed."

Note - Tom Lizardo, Ron Paul's longtime Chief of Staff, is a former YAF National Director.
