Cute namecalling. Unfortunately I didn't see the gaffe you were talking about. I saw him state a sentiment that I can agree with. Government control is increased not by force but through fear or wrapping oneself in the 'right' cause. If this is taken to its logical end at some point government will tell you how freedom and liberty will be defined. In effect destroying freedom and liberty.
This isn't just this nation, it is any nation. Human nature not only portends it, it defines it. But since you're on about what Dr. Paul said here's one or two from another gentleman that warned of the same thing. I imagine he was a 'kook' too huh?....
The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy
And still, he sits at 4%
