When the Republican Party went away from Paul/Taft and got into big government/interventionism, it should have taken a new name.
“Whether or not these wars were wise or just is a question of what the contemporary evidence from the region said, not a proposition directly deducible from the Founders’ writings.”
Good refutation of Ron Paul’s irrational criticism of the War on Terror.
“In Ron Paul’s world, the right to do something also includes the right to never be criticized for it. Of course, this is logically absurd: the Ku Klux Klan has the legal right to buy property, too, but that doesn’t mean I’m obligated to keep quiet when they move in next door. This is why Paul’s brand of non-judgmental libertarianism, which seems increasingly difficult to distinguish from leftism with each Paul post, is ultimately worthless: by demanding personal indifference to morally repugnant acts in addition to legal indifference, it all but ensures evil’s ascendance.”
Another well articulated point.
What a joke. We have not done anything significant to counterattack the "global Islamic movement". We've been holding hands with, and bowing to, it's leadership.
In short, young Mr. Freiburger has become unhinged by his one man anti-Paul crusade.
One possible explanation for Ron Paul’s strange behavior is that back in the early seventies he might have read Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and thought, wow, what a great book, in particular tactic #4 which says:
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”
From there, Ron Paul could have concocted a plan to use our Constitution against us. Although I don’t know it for certain, his publicly observable actions are entirely consistent with such an explanation.
A few quotes taken out of context can make just about anything appear to be either desirable or undesirable.
Odd article, I thought everyone, well maybe everyone but his supporters, knew Ron Paul was a Rino. But the good news is the end of the essay, Ron Paul’s supporters are a tiny group. He is not going to win the GOP presidential nomination.
And like the lefty Rinos, Ron Paul is ok on somethings. Thus there is room for the Ron Paul’s and Olympia Snows and even Rand Pauls in GOP congressional majorities, just not too many of them.
If Ron Paul is an “abomination” what would be the correct descriptor for the current administration and the rest of congress?
That was a pain in the ass. Nine freaking pages of ads to recap common knowledge.
Pitiful.
No wonder I rarely click on a blog.
Yeah, rather go with poll numbers than actual votes...such as the county by mine, where he got 25% of the vote, double what the Huckster got.
RP is the closest politician to the Founding Fathers there is.
