Although NB obviously needs a refresher course on what socialism is (none of our candidates come close to socialism, maybe not even the Socialist party), he’s right. Barr IS more liberal than McCain. Which is a good thing. I can’t believe that anybody could ever be a libertarian and also consider themselves to be on the “right.” (Or the left). The Republican party has done nothing to increase liberty for decades, maybe even since Eisenhower appointed Earl Warren to the Supreme Court (another Republican). I’m sorry, but a little tax cut here and there a freedom-loving party does not make. When you look at it, any rational person has to admit that if you want an increase (or perhaps more accurately, a slowed decrease) in individual liberty, Obama has to be your guy, from the Supreme Court appointments to gay rights to race relations to domestic surveillance to enforcing the liberty provisions of the Constitution (I am also hopeful that he’ll stick to supporting the 2nd Amendment!).
