I didn't say that. I said "he is a libertarian, but not a Libertarian.
It can't be true and false at the same time.But maybe you know something that I don't.
Clearly. It has to do with upper and lower cases. It changes the meaning. And it isn't nit picking. It changes the meaning in an important way.
I do know that Ron Paul is a Libertarian who ran as a Republican because he couldn't get elected with the Libertarian label.
Incorrect. He is a libertarian who ran as a Republican, and the reason for that can only be speculated upon. Since he didn't run as a Libertarian, we can never know whether or not he could have been elected as such. It seems reasonable that he didn't think so at the time.
In Calif. most Democrats are Socialists,etc.
Not necessarily, we don't even know if they are democrats.
In any case, assumptions about what one believes because of their affiliations are fraught with the danger of being erroronous. By your measure, you would believe in every single plank of the Republican Platform if you call yourself a Republican. In 1996 Bob Dole admitted that he hadn't even read the Republican platform. It was a good thing, he told the truth for a change.
I have asked anyone who can, to prove to me that Ron Paul advocates open borders, ie. no immigration laws. So far, no one can. They have only done what you have done, assumed.
I remain of the opinion that Paul does believe in immigration laws. Probably not the ones currently in force.
