[Mr. Jeeves]

Ron Paul and Ayn Rand alike put their finger squarely on the thread of authoritarianism running through mainstream conservative thought - that is why they are so reviled by some. Don't dare to criticize our tyranny, they say, whether it comes from Wall Street, the Defense Department, or God.

Stopped clocks are right 2 times a day - if they’re analog. In these digital times, you might just be blank.

Rand and Paul both manipulate the question so their answer appears to be the only correct option. However, rather than altruism or a strong proactive national defense being insane, it’s insane to ignore the poverty, suffering, or enslavement of your neighbor or the aggression of another neighbor.

Ron Paul has earned an opponent in the Republican primary, John Gay.
