Ron Paul: Rights of Taxpayers is Missing Element in Stem Cell Debate

1) Evidently you do, Timmy, unless you wish to remain ignorant on what libertarianism is.

2) Congressman Paul, Timmy, sides with the U.S. constitution and the Founding Fathers. If people such as Senators Obama and Kennedy occasionally do so as well, then good.

3) I think you will find, Timmy, that most liberals side with the failed "War on Drugs" just as most conservatives do. Therefore, it is mostly we libertarians who side with common sense in stating that it is none of Leviathan's business what adults freely do as long as they do not violate the rights of another person.

Consistently supporting liberty for all people means having to sometimes defend the indefensible.

 

1) Call my politics liberal if you want, Timmy. It is highly inaccurate but if it fits your agenda, it's no skin off of my nose. Do you think that a liberal would support free markets as I do?

2) I don't think it is accurate to state than a person never, ever agrees with the U.S. constitution and the Founding Fathers.

3) That is correct I do. But the "War on Drugs" is an abject failure. Are you claiming that it is a success?

4) Following the U.S. constitution and the wisdom of the Founding Fathers will promote liberty. It will not destroy society. The long term health of our society has much more to fear from the disciples of George W. Bush and other liberals like him than it does from the re-legalization of certain drugs.

 

1) You truly are ignorant about politics.

2) All liberals do not and some conservatives do. But since George W. Bush has engaged in the activity you describe then you certainly must admit that he is a liberal based on your definition.

3) Not only are you ignorant about politics but you are ignorant about what is going on around you as well.

4) No, they won't. But ignorant voters who don't open their eyes to the truth certainly may.

 

I know that taking certain drugs, including legal ones, destroy lives.

I also know that governments have destroyed many, many times more lives than taking legal or illegal drugs has.

 

No, but harmful governments make certain drugs illegal.

 

Not really. It is not a proper role for a government to dictate what drugs a person can take, or what he does in his bedroom, or what he does with his money.

 

1) Since I am not a liberal, you will have to take up that discussion with a liberal.

2) It still isn't any of Leviathan's business.

3) Drugs, legal and illegal, are less of a long term threat to society as a whole than totalitarian government is.

4) Homosexuality is less of a long term threat to society as a whole than totalitarian government is.

 

Yes, they are, Timmy.
