National Journal has labeled Ron Paul a liberal. This is not because Dr. Paul’s voting record reflects the classical liberalism of the American founders and Mises. No, the Journal considers Dr. Paul a liberal because he votes against Republican proposals to expand the welfare-warfare state!

To the National Journal, conservative=Bush supporter while liberal=Bush opponent. Therefore, the National Journal considers votes against No Child Left Behind, the Medicare Prescription Drug Act, the PATRIOT Act, etc. to be votes in favor of upholding the tradition of FDR,LBJ and Truman!
