Yep. He does not understand that in his case they went Alinsky on him not because he won an argument, but because he is an incredibly annoying person.
They can’t make the distinction between persuasion/process and the end goal or results.
To reach a goal..say convincing someone of your opinion, you can’t bludgean them. Yet, most Paul supporters don’t know how to argue to persuade. They are out to win.
And..if we join this battle with the Left to simply win then we will lose because the purpose is to educate politely and persuade others of our argument, not conquer them.
there are varying degrees...
are all republicans conservatives?
of course not..
not all libertarians are ron paul nut jobs...
if you look at the libertarian party platform, most of it mirrors the republican party platform.
The 2 area's where it does not are also the 2 area's I disagree with.
But, the libertarians will stick with their platform, unlike the republicant’s, who once elected will abandon said platform, and turn into socialists.
small l libertarians are liberty loving constitution believing persons. I do not need a petty bureaucrat telling me what I can do, what I can or cannot put into my body, what I must believe and how I should act.
Those decisions are mine and mine alone.
The only exceptions are when I interfere or trespass upon someone else’s civil rights (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness)..
