Nation's Oldest Conservative-Libertarian Activist Group Expels Ron Paul from Advisory Board

(Washington DC - 2/12/11) The National Board of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF)-America's oldest conservative-libertarian activist group-has, per curium, voted to purge Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) from YAF's National Advisory Board.
YAF's concern with Rep. Paul stems from his delusional and disturbing alliance with the fringe Anti-War movement.
"It is 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 than the current feeble and appeasing administration," said YAF's Senior National Director Jordan Marks.
Paul, who had served on the YAF Advisory Board for more than two decades, was awarded with YAF's highest honor, the Guardian of Freedom award, an honor Rep. Paul has touted on his biography for many years. Only a decade ago, Dr. Paul praised YAF's work on the House floor. Paul called YAF's founding document, the Sharon Statement "a great document explicating the philosophy of freedom."
The Sharon Statement, clearly states: "American foreign policy must be judged by this criterion: does it serve the just interests of the United States?"
"History has shown that periods of freedom are rare, and can exist only when free citizens concertedly defend their rights against all enemies."
"Freedom and prosperity cannot peacefully exist alongside radical Islam. It is unfortunate that Ron Paul--a member of the U.S. Congress-- does not understand this. Surely, our enemies do."
Young Americans for Freedom celebrated its 50th Anniversary in October 2010. The National Board of YAF made its decision to expel Dr. Paul during its annual Board meeting held early Saturday afternoon. Young Americans for Freedom helped to found the Conservative Political Action Conference 38 years ago.
"Who would have ever thought that we would see the day when YAF was more aligned with the Obama administration than a formerly conservative Republican congressman? Rep. Paul's refusal to support our nation's military and national security interests border on treason, aside from his failure to uphold his oath to the United States Constitution and defend our country and citizens against all enemies, foreign and domestic," Marks continued.
"Rep. Paul has strayed to the left of Obama and allied himself with the radical anti-war left by laying the blame on America for the unprovoked attacks of Sept. 11th. Additionally, Rep. Paul has not condemned the 9/11 "Truther" conspiracy theorists that support him, and he has repeatedly insisted, that the United States not bring justice to those who have murdered thousands of our civilians and soldiers at home and abroad. This is simply unacceptable. Clearly Rep. Paul cares more about a doomed presidential run than he does our country," Marks added.
YAF National Chairman Michael Jones issued the following statement:
"The United States is in a time of economic crisis, but this is no excuse to abandon the principles that have built this great country and spread its ideals to the darkest recesses of the planet. The United States is the world's leader--a beacon of light for the wretched and the oppressed. God has blessed the United States with liberty and the strength and heart to spread that liberty to all of his children. Rep. Paul has abandoned this mission, abandoned the United States' citizens, and abandoned the citizens of the world in their quest for their God-given natural rights."
Young Americans for Freedom is the nation's oldest, largest, and most active conservative - libertarian youth organization. YAF was started at the estate of William F. Buckley, Jr. in 1960 to uphold the principles of the Sharon Statement. To learn more about the Sharon Statement and YAF please visit www.YAF.com.

CPAC is a creature of who wants to pay to go to it, and has become increasingly a forum for the fringe, or just guys with lots of money, but not rank and file Conservatives.

WTF? They are talking about Paul on FNC and Jaime Colby just referred to him as a Tea Party favorite.

She likely got "Rand" Paul confused with his father.......although I'm far from certain that there is much ideological difference between the two.

Kelly and her husband Jeff, bought a retired schoolbus, ripped out the seats, and made a house on wheels, full with kitchen, bath, cubby holes for bedrooms. Kelly "unschools" her kids and now they are driving around the country in this unschool bus. She doesn't seem to be as politically involved as she used to be(IMHO)....

Oh Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly --- what in the hell are you doing to your children?

Oh Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly --- what in the hell are you doing to your children?
I feel bad, because they(kids) are not making lifelong friends, never get involved in the community with other kids in their respective age groups...
They go with the flow, or against the flow depending how you look at it...
They are having an adventure of a lifetime traveling across the country( I am envious that way),
but I wonder how they(kids) are doing academically against their peers, are they advanced or behind??
I have met them personally(Jeff and Kelly), they are a very nice couple and very laid back about life in general.

Oh, what a bunch of ****ing horseshit.
Yo, Kelly--does that include trying to get people FIRED for disagreeing with you?
And what about those ethics charges you had to deal with when you ran for NH Senate a couple of years ago, you know, where you lost the election by like a 4-1 margin?
And yes, Tania--she's still pimping for Ron Paul.

ETA: I'm not opposed to homeschooling per se, but they're not learning shit, IMO. I just don't see how being taught by a HS dropout is going to be a very effective education. Just sayin.

She doesn't talk about Ron Paul on facebook, and I am not into the blogs. I feel bad for the kids when they finally reach adulthood(especially the daughter). They never had structured time responsibility. What I mean is, the motion of getting up getting dressed, going to school and/or job or seeing their parent(s) go out and working(even homeschool kids see that).
