> He doesn’t belief in NAFTA type agreements which is managed free trade (which isn’t free trade). He is in favor of real free trade which hardly requires an agreement. Just lower tariffs.
How is opposition to FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS not an opposition to free trade?
His association with racists has been well documented by LGF. Ron Paul refused to return their money or to denounce them.
Ron Paul wants to return to the gold standard (and, on an especially bizarre day, abandon paper currency). The damage this would do the economy is hard to even estimate.
Which allies would Ron Paul be willing to support?

Does opposition to the PATRIOT Act necessarily make one unpatriotic? Does opposition to the Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 make one against economic stabilization?
Free trade agreements don’t necessarily constitute free trade. All you need for free trade is to lower tariffs and lift any embargoes. Free trade isn’t a policy; it’s a lack of a policy.

Even if he is a stone cold racist, what policies exactly is he thinking of enacting that harms minorities? Last time I checked he wanted government to do very little.

Giving the government a monopoly on the creation of money and credit and its price through setting or manipulating the interest rate (the price of money) is better? Last time I checked, government monopolies are bad for the economy and price controls distort economic calculation and decision.

I don’t agree with him on everything, but I certainly don’t think we ought to be favoring sides as heavily as we do know. We give out too much aid to both sides and we constantly fight yesterday’s friend. I’d like to see a middle ground.
Charlie Manboobs sees a racist in anyone who doesn't agree 100% with him and uses mental gymnastics to try to prove such "associations".
Do you REALLY think that the "free trade" agreements out there are promoting genuine free trade?
