"Paul has been in many ways a loyal member of the Republican Liberty Caucus..."

Unfortunately his loyalty doesn't extend to his own country. While he may have some ideas worthy of discussion, I find the thought of bringing a white flag to the debate table repellent.

but perhaps not a repellent as I find the chance for good conservative sites to balkanize themselves on the occasion of his marginal candidacy. Perhaps we can recall the harsh words amongst our fellows on this site on the occasion of the Buchanan candidacy, the discussions over life preservation for the poor girl in Florida, the abortion debates, the libertarian factions in general, the issues of republicans as marginal conservatives and all the rest of the various debates where we chose the small litmus issues to divide us while ignoring the general broad agreements we all share.

I know its galling to see too much of one you would like to have just shut up and go away, but I think I sometimes need to have those with whom I don't constantly agree with share the microphone with me to have me reach down deep to make the most sincere points.

Remember, there is no thread too small to make some truely harsh comments that will drive away at least one reader who otherwise might be our countryman.
