In official policy positions, he's more "moderate" a libertarian. This may be simply because he's working to be more broadly "electable". Bear in mind that in 1974 Ronald Reagan described Libertarianism as being the heart of Conservatism. Rand's policies are strongly similar to Reagan's advocated positions before he ran for office.

What libertarian was a 2016 Republican presidential candidate?

Rand Paul, son of libertarian Conservative Ron Paul, who more or less came in second in the Republican nomination race in 2012. Unlike his father, though, Rand tried to be "moderate", when libertarianism is what's really popular, so he didn't do nearly as well as his dad.


Why is the media ignoring ron paul?

First, Ron Paul no longer holds elective office. He had some power as a long-serving member of the House, but that is gone now. Without the high-profile pulpit he used to have, he is naturally going to attract less attention. Second, Ron Paul's son Rand makes for better TV. He is a much slicker and more polished speaker than his father, and he holds a seat in the Senate. Third, he failed. Ron Paul tried to obtain the Republican nomination twice, and lost. He managed to move the debate over issues in a much more libertarian direction, and he managed to assemble a large libertarian caucus within the Republican machine. Neither of these very real achievements was enough to overcome the fact that his foreign policy does not sell with most Republicans.

Who was the father of James the Less and Joses?

This is one of the most difficult questions in the Gospel history, and still being debated. Matthew (13, 55) and Mark (6, 3) declare them to be sons of the Virgin Mary and brothers of Jesus. Paul (Gal. 1, 19) affirms that James was the brother of Jesus. If they were sons of the Virgin Mary, Joseph must have been their father. But Matthew (10, 3) and Mark (3, 18) state that James the Less was "the son of Alpheus." According to John (compare John 19, 25 with Matthew 28, 56) Cleophas was their father.
