I have often scoffed at people on this board who have IMO ultra conservative financial values (20% down on a house, income tax is illegal, etc…) because I felt as a practical matter these “values” would never be implemented – until Ron Paul came along.
I personally do not have use for guns and basically loath them – but American Citizens do have a constitutional right to bear arms – end of story, doesn’t matter if I like them or not.
I do not consider Ron Paul anti-establishment, but I am sure as Ron Paul gains popularity the establishment will try to paint him as such.
