The alternative, I suppose, is that all these people really think you needed to be told about 15 times.

This was my mistake entirely. I'm extremely embarrassed. I wasn't purposely name dropping. I genuinely would like to meet Professor Reynolds. There was nothing malicious or snobby here. I was just excited. Again, I apologize to everyone. This was my mistake entirely. I’m extremely embarrassed. I wasn’t purposely name dropping. I genuinely would like to meet Professor Reynolds.

Was someone impersonating him or, being exhausted after three days with no sleep (I know how conventions can be) did you mistake somebody else for him?

Who did you really meet? There is a good conspiracy theory in here somewhere. Glenn says on his website he wasn’t there.

I didn’t go to CPAC this year. Do I have an impersonator?" You may want to address this sooner than later.

Paul on is the use of the military. The parallel to liberals and their social programs is conservatives and their military programs. There is no disagreement with conservatives that the Constitution permits politicians to maintain a military. The disagreement is with the use of it. Using it to impose some sort of idealistic, peaceful democracy, free markets, and deposing dictators sounds wonderful. But the populace has to want it, and it’s recognition that social engineering is something politicians should be engaged in. So, in essence, conservatives agree with liberals on progressive social engineering. Why stop there? The tangential effects of which are government snooping, employer mandates and regulations, and whatever politicians dream up to exert control over the population. Conservatives and Republicans are not ready to lead this country and downsize government because they consider military spending sacrosanct, and with it other forms of central planning. Military and entitlement programs must be cut. I’d imagine one such issue you disagree with Rep. Paul on is the use of the military.
