I agree with Ron Paul except on the issue of.......

that's very mildly said. America hasn't had a politician like that since Jefferson. Those who disagree are either in power, on welfare or plain and simple retarded

i agree with everything Ron Paul says.. except for 9/11 being an inside job (which it was) and a woman's right to choose (which she should have, and Ron Paul says he is against, but would allow).. so that one is kind of a mute point.. seeing as how he would allow it, but at the same time he is against it.

The most important thin to me right now is 9/11 truth, which is an all-encompassing issue.

On virtually every other issue, Ron Paul supports liberty, the free market and property rights right down the line. Yet on the issue of immigration he takes a decidedly socialist, nativist position.

What is even more scary, though, is that many of his followers go beyond simply opposing (Hispanic) immigration for it's supposedly detrimental effects on the government treasury, to actual loathing of (Hispanic) immigrants (who even Ron Paul recognizes are scapegoats) and name-calling.

Yes Ron is right most of the time. But even a squirell with good eyesight occasionally misses an acorn.

I don't want to be in a revolution of brainwashed simpletons that can only regurgitate 1 mans doctrine to the "T". If we do that, we are no better than the Obama Youth Corps. I want to know that the individual standing next to me has a brain and can come to their own conclusions after reviewing the evidence. If we all agreed on everything, then there would be no need to debate. If there is no debate, then our minds would be dulled.

I rather enjoy the spirited debate with someone I agree 80% with like many here on the DP. Debating over that 20% helps us keep each other on our toes, but we must remember what Reagan said, that people you agree with 80% of the time are not your enemy. That way we don't engage in personal attacks on each other, and we keep the quality of the debate healthy.

I must say it took me years of change to 'fully' understand libertarianism, Austrian economics and non-aggression. I'm still a student decades later.

I think Gary Johnson has more of Ron Paul's beliefs. That's why for 2012, I would like to see:

Gary Johnson for US President and
Jesse Ventura as his VP

pacifist.
