“That’s a big leap you made there.”

Which one? “Dr. Paul’s” 5% of GOP support? Or the scorn that always accompanies his stupity?

>> Which one?

I guess the reaction to my post regarding appreciation for Paul’s anti-statist views.

I think heroin is used as the “gotcha” argument, and yeah it’s a legitimate point, but one that’s completely abstract in comparison to our “healthy” liberties the govt is currently hammering to death.

I don’t agree with Paul on foreign affairs, but he right on life, and he’s also right on the fundamentals of liberties.

For survival, Paul throws the cult some bones, but I think his views are more pragmatic than the popular perspective that drives in the donations. And maybe I’m wrong about it all. FWIW, I don’t have a political investment in Paul. But I’m glad he shows up for the debates. His anti-statist contributions by definition are vital for our independence.
