“I would think that such an offer — before the outbreak of war and the destruction of southern property — mad some merit and I think that Paul is still more right than wrong even though I don’t agree with him all of the time.”
To some here, Paul is more of an enemy than Obama.
You are so right. Some think that being libertarian is an assault on the country when the opposite is closer to the truth.
In theory Paul was right about the war. If we had followed the Constitution all along, we’d have avoided the mess that we are currently in. However, because we are in that mess it is impossible (by design?) to walk away from the obligations that we entered into.
Every time that I find myself disagreeing with him, I re-examine my position. I may still disagree, but his stand is based on constitutionality and that is hard to argue with.
