Yeah, like the Stormfront and “troofer” crowds?
I think you have a good point there about Paul supporters, I take the first part of my statement back.
I guess I was pretty impressed with the his performance over at the GOP debate when it came to the economy and domestic policy. Herman Cain was also great. For years before the TPARTY movement and Glen Beck came out and articulated the case for free markets andorganized campaigning and exposing people like alinsky and the tactics of the unAmerican socialist revolutionary LIEberals rather than just playing into lib medias hands by watering the medicine down, Paul and the libertarians were the most vocal and articulate element in the political spectrum which countered the arguments against socialism most directly fundamentally and consistently arguing how and why capitalism peace progress and freedom are complimentary. I believe that some people are so committed to peace that they blind themselves naively about the necessity to stand up to evil when it is necessary to. You can only avoid conflict for so long.
What rules Paul out for me is his December 6 1941 view on America’s options and responsibilities regarding external threats such as al Qaeda in Yemen. Also his call for neutrality when it comes to Israel vs. the other al Qaedas who believe deliberate mass murder and genocidalfanaticism is fair game is worth moral condemnation in the highest order. I can see the way that very questionable characters could follow and promote such an incapacitating and foolish line.
