As a medical user, I really hope she will stick to this if elected. Trump is doing more “leave it up to the states” bullshit except specifically for Florida and no other state.

    Your entire theory hinges on a racist remark that he didn’t even write and was possibly unaware of. Unless I’m missing something groundbreaking on page 2 and 3 of that article which I can’t read because it’s paywalled.

    Is there anything Ron Paul did politically that would suggest fascist ideologies? The word is thrown around a lot these days.

      His company, his newsletter, his name on it. Often tomes racist shot was directly attributes to him. So either he believed in that, condoned it, or felt that racism was a great vehicle to sell his ideology. I’m not sure whoch of those makes him a good person, or makes his ideology not about racism.

        So he was a fascist/racist who spent his entire life in politics without ever showing a sign of that ideology, was he waiting to spring his trap?

        I’m not here to vouch for the guy, I’m just on the outside looking in, but this seems like a bunch of conjecture in its purest form.

        Also, am I reading you correctly that you think racism is a great vehicle to sell the idea of libertarianism?
