He was drawn to politics when President Nixon severed the connection between the dollar and gold in 1971.

You can't make this stuff up.

Why should you make stuff up? That was a correct conservative response to a very bad governmental action.

From the article:

He would radically downsize the federal government. "I don't think there is any need for the Department of Education, the Department of Energy or particularly the monstrous Department of Homeland Security," he said Tuesday. Asked what role he sees for the federal government in education, Paul replied: "None. Nothing in the Constitution provides for a federal role."

Paul would seek to divest the federal government of its vast landholdings in the West. "I would always move in the direction of moving those lands to the states, except in special circumstances such as national parks."

Don't you agree with these statements? Every conservative should. If you don't, you just might be a liberal.
