Nice to have convictions, but it would help if they were grounded in the reality of the 21st. century, not the 1700s.

Your argument could be used to justify tossing the Constitution entirely. From your point of view, why shouldn't we do exactly that?

A more accurate example would be that Paul's convictions come from a 1901-1914 model (with a small resurrection in the '50s.)

What is really frightening is that so few people understand our economic system. If Ron Paul actually got elected he might have enough support to destroy our economy.

I believe Ron Pauls heart is in the right place, but like the old saying, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Ahhhh! Another so-called "Conservative" that thinks the Constitution should be a "living document" subject to interpretation any time it doesn't quite fit what he thinks.
