At the core of a congressional push to audit the Federal Reserve are activists with a larger purpose: to abolish the central bank.

You’re an idiot! The Fed=Slavery.
Ron Paul is a little extreme on FP, but domestically he is almost 99% Correct.
Why bash any “ally”..? Why not just disagree with RP when necessary, and agree (ally) when possible? That’s the best way to build a coalition, a movment?
You forgot your sarcasm tag.
If he just wasn't a truther...
He isn’t.
He isn’t. He simply called for another investigation of the attacks to expose government incompetence that left us wide open for the attacks. The Truthers latched on to this, thinking he meant their was thermite hidden in the walls of the WTC.
