Well put. And I do think he fears the Fed Gov worse. This means he'd accept a certain number of American deaths as a "collateral damage" trade off for the maintenance of civil liberties. I wonder if he's thought about how high that number would be before he'd draw some sort of line.

It’s not just this statement that would lead you to that conclusion. I believe Ron Paul has said (roughly) that while he doesn’t believe the federal government was behind 9/11, the federal government is not above exploiting it to gain power.
If he were to actually draw a line it would be allowed to be crossed while they drew another line.
And the stupid thing is, not a single person defending him could name a tangible "civil liberty" that we've "lost" as part of that supposed trade-off in the first place.
These people have the luxury of whining about fantasies because, let's face it, their lives are nice and comfortable.
I defy any Ron Paul supporter to explain how their lives have been changed one iota by the "lost civil liberties" they feign such outrage over.
