Why do you think Ron Paul christened his son Rand? Crazy uncle in the attic indeed.

I take issue with Ron Paul with respect to his reverence for the goodness of the unfettered free market and his belief in states rights even with respect to institutionalized racism.

Regards,

Ron Paul's a little whacked. He looks more Presidential than Romney though, and guess what counts?

Dems and Neocons do have this in common: they both believe the government should be the final arbitrator of society. In other words it's up to THEM to decide what's best for us. Very convenient I would say

It's the "Political Ring"* theory that I proposed and no one ever commented on.

*Rather than a "Spectrum" as represented by a straight line, politics are represented by a ring, with left and right set east and west, then anarchy and totalitarianism set opposite each other, north and south.

Consider that the stated, ultimate goal of Communism is purportedly-----anarchy, no government at all. Thus covering the entire arc from tyranny to liberty on the left side. (Assuming that it actually runs it's course as advertized.)

Modern day conservatism purports to seek ever less government, with the extreme right apparently suggesting anarchy. (While espousing ideas that stink of government invasive to even the most private aspects of our lives, interestingly enough.) Thus covering the arc on the right.

I know this is not a perfect example, but do you see what I'm getting at?

A "Ring"---Not a straight line.

Dave

BTW, I would consider Ron Paul before I'd even think of voting for Romney.

At least Ron Paul, for the most part, is genuine. To my mind, Romney embodies precisely what this country doesn't need any more of.

Ambiguous non-talkers? Could be any politician on the national stage now - including our current fearless leader.
