I don’t have any particular malice against him but his political views are hilarious.
Quick recap for those not up to date on him:
#Wants to expunge any constitutionally ill-defined federal organization (e.g. FDA, FAA, DoE) under the assumption that any beneficial services they provide will be taken up by organizations formed by individual states or the free market.
#Wants to protect your rights from the federal government, but devolving the ability to smother your rights to the state is perfect acceptable.
#Wants to end invasions of countries suspected of harboring terrorists, and instead offer “Letters of Marque and Reprisal”, large bounties on terrorists.
#Wants to leave every multinational organization.
#Disagrees with the idea that the federal government should be a social engineer. And attempts to bar federal funding for organizations which endorse homosexuality.His ideas range from possibly good to could-actually-kill-us-all. I guess he’d make for a exciting president if I didn’t have a vested interest in my own life.
I am, though, very interested in exactly how his campaign went off. No other lower-tier candidate has managed anything quite like Ron Paul’s web of support. Even the others who have very extreme views like Gravel, Kucinich, Keys, and Tancredo don’t have anything like this.
To wrap this up: HOLY SHIT RON PAUL BLIMP.
>Wants to expunge any constitutionally ill-defined federal organization (e.g. FDA, FAA, DoE) under the assumption that any beneficial services they provide will be taken up by organizations formed by individual states or the free market.
Wouldn’t that mean that any corporation could control their own pseudo-FDA and approve that which should not be approved? Or at the very least throw money at the right people to get what they want. That sounds dangerous.
I will fire bullets at that blimp.
