Ron Paul is exactly correct. “The fact is that the average man’s love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies.” H.L.Mencken

Baltimore Evening Sun (12 February 1923)This from the man who called Biblical Fundamentalists "gaping primates" who believe "degraded nonsense."
Mencken is a hero to "palaeos" because his magazine became anti-Semitic (under Maguire) and eventually national socialist (under Carto). "Mencken" is a code word just like "international bankers."
