Yeah, Ron's a real lefty. Ron is the lefts worst nightmare, he doesn't have to or want to get elected to anything.

He's more pro 2A than the NRA or GOA. Is outspoken about liberal bias in the media, against racial preferences, for smaller less intrusive govt., see's the teachers unions as an arm of the Democratic party and the reason our schools are over funded and underperforming. etc. etc. etc.

Recent article on Ron excerpted below:

Smith’s voice is, at the moment, the sort of voice that is most desperately in need of amplification. His critiques of the Iraq policy are simple, reasoned, and intelligent: that it is "needlessly risky," that the real reasons don’t jibe with the stated reasons, that it may not be in our best long term interests, that Iraq, in fact, poses no legitimate threat to U.S. interests, and that the hawks have simply not made a convincing case.

"After Sept. 11 it was absolutely proper that we track down those responsible for the attack on us. But to conflate this war against Iraq with the attack on us is just insupportable. There’s no evidence of it, there’s no likelihood of it as a matter of fact. All of the twisting and turning and distorting and insistence ... to the contrary ... every time they do this they can’t come up with any plausible evidence. So we’re just supposed to take it on faith, and I think that’s just not a very smart thing to do."
