No, if you read the article he specifically states hes not for anarchy and such a philosophy would leave our nations borders unguarded. Also, we dont need the federal government doing everything. Thats why we have states, they were supposed to take care of issues like education, abortion, and welfare. Those issues can be debated in the states and decided in the states without federal interference.

That level of states rights/government went out with the Civil War. Ron Paul may mean well, and his rhetoric appeals to many, but it simply is not going to fly in this day and age.

Piss and moan all you like its not going to change the fact that we have a strong central Federal government. If we still had pre-Civil War state run education, most citizens of southern states would be illiterate.

(not that the public school system is the best, but at least it IS there)

Sure, the Feds should not be as deeply involved in our everyday affairs as the are. Some down sizing is in order, but Ron advocates a culling of the Federal government that is simply unrealistic.
