Libertarians claim that they don't want to legislate morality.

That is not true.

Of course they want to legislate morality.

They want to legislate a very minimalist, radically individualist morality.

So we're all in the business of wanting to legislate morality. We disagree about which

morality ought to be legislated. And I think the argument on behalf of conservative morality

is that it really is the only one that is sustainable. From the Heritage Foundation, I'm Tim Desher, and this is just the best.

Warmth and love, laughter, food, and, of course, politics.

Fortunately, I grew up in a family where everybody, for the most part, agreed with each other.

So instead of arguing who's right or wrong, it became a contest of who could outdo each other in making the same

point. For most of my life, that was how it was. Until around 10 years ago, the conversation

started a shift, and I started noticing a divide. Maybe you did too.

Congressman Paul, you call your campaign a revolution, and I think it's safe to say that

your brand of change is one of the most sweeping proposed by any candidate of either party,

but getting your agenda through Congress would likely require a revolution of an entirely different sort.

So how would you adjust your plan in light of political reality in Washington?

Well, the secret is the term revolution wasn't my word, and it didn't come up on our web page.

It was coined by the supporters. But in a way, it

is revolutionary to go back to the Constitution. And we'd like to continue the old revolution.

And believe me, freedom is unifying. We bring a lot of people together. People then are free

to choose what they would like to do with their lives, free to choose how they would spend

their money. And all of a sudden, we wouldn't be telling other countries how to live.
