I'm no fan of Ron Paul. It's the fashionable thing these days for liberals to jump all over this guy's junk because he speaks the truth about the reasons we went to war, what a failure it's been, and what we should do about it. And don't get me wrong, I'm glad he does all of that, someone should. But that aside, he's a nut, and he's just another "constructionist" loony. Life begins, for him, at the moment of conception. The federal income tax is unconstitutional and should be completely abolished, says he. So too is our participation in and funding for the United Nations.
This man's ideas and policies are appealing at first, but on closer inspection it's obvious they're dangerous and not very well thought out. He's just another knee-jerk populist spouting bluster. But he's interesting, and so too is this article at Time.
My favorite part:
'one of his staffers walked up to a man and asked him if he was a Ron Paul supporter.
"No. They're all nuts," he replied. "I'm just a guy in a shark suit."'
