"But, why post this article here?"

Because I am absolutely disgusted by the GOP's betrayal of the cause of limited government and am desperately looking for a Goldwater type of movement to emerge that will push that cause back to the forefront. Because of his views on the nature of the Islamic threat, I am not supporting his candidacy. That does not mean that I am not interested in what becomes of the movement he has inspired. We really need to stop looking at politics in the short sighted fashion of who is going to win the next election and examine what kind of movement a person can inspire over the long haul. Ron Paul definitely has some warts, but it might very well be the case that the movement which he has inspired may be a political factor long after he is no longer on the political scene. If that turns out to be so, then we need to engage in dialog with his supporters over issues of disagreement. the childish name calling that has substituted for such discussion until now is more worthy of DU or KOS than FR. (At least I wish such were the case)
