YAF Kicks Ron Paul (and Bucket) (http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/78498.html)

Young Americans for Freedom, the first neocon youth league—if you do not count the Young Trotskyites—has been a Beltway letterhead org since the early 1970s. Get this: it has 115 friends on Facebook. 115! Founded by CIA agent Bill Buckley, like National Review, it took libertarian domestic stands to cover its promotion of world military empire and the garrison state. Like NR, YAF eventually dropped all libertarian pretense. But now the ghost of the org, in order to get some attention (it worked) and to please those who advocate permanent war in the Middle East, has purged (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0211/49412.html#ixzz1DnZ8NKcG) Ron Paul from one of its paper boards. I predict that this action, as true to its actual principles as it is, will be the end of YAF. But not even its 115 “friends” will notice. On the other hand, Young Americans for Liberty (http://www.yaliberty.org/), a grassroots organization on campuses nationwide, is real. YAL is the future—the Paulian future.
