Grass-fed beef? This guy sounds like he drinks microbrews with his brats. Or worse, imported Trippel. PITCHFORK, WHERE IS MY PITCHFORK!

I don't get it either. It's utterly baffling. That libertarian "live and let live" streak seems to have totally dissipated from the Republican party. It seems like more of a personality thing than an ideology thing.

I don't think the Republicans ever really had a libertarian streak.

Sure, they loved to take out the libertarian branding and wave it around when Democrats were in charge, but the second they took power again they instantly went back to a religious authoritarian position.

The Republicans didn't have a "religious authoritarian" position before the 1980s.
