YAF Expels Ron Paul

Young Americans for Freedom, the early neocon youth org founded by CIA agent Bill Buckley, has booted Ron Paul from its advisory board because he questions the military empire. Libertarians purged YAF in the 1960s to protest its endorsement of military slavery and other Pentagonian evils. (Thanks to Michael Ostrolenk)

UPDATE Says the YAF national director, chickenhawk Jordan Marks:

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.
