Ron Paul Is A Faux Liberterian

[DemocratSinceBirth]

John Stuart Mill said it best, "'Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.'"

How can the individual be sovereign when Mr. Paul cedes those rights to state governments. It matters not a whit whether the federal or state government tells he me who I can marry, what drugs can I can take , and what I can or can't do with my body as long as I am not harming another individual.

According to the political ideology which you purport to subscribe you are just replacing one leviathan, the federal governement, with another leviathan, the state government.

Mr. Paul. You are a faux liberterian and your acolytes who follow you because they think you are a liberterian are useful idiots.

1. Something I've maintained about Paul from the get-go

I was a Libertarian in the 70's.They are definitely pro-choice, GLBT rights.I left over the ignorance of the poor and sick and the "laissez faire capitalism".Ron Paul is no true libertarian.

3. Sounds like China.

China has very weak federal control, and has concentrations of power in several state run governments. While looneytarians seem to think this is a good idea, the reality is, it is one of the most openly corrupt governments in the world.

4. American Libertarianism ...

... is not libertarianism.

True libertarianism (in the European sense) is a left-wing political philosophy which respects both the community and the individual; based on the concept that neither can exist without the other.
