For What are You Waving the American Flag?

March 12, 2007 |

“Paul thinks everyone is born an instinctive libertarian, “wanting to be let alone.” Unfortunately, “the school system beats it out of you.” Paul voted both for the ban on partial-birth abortion (a fetus is alive, leave it alone) and against the ban on same-sex marriage (none of the federal government’s business). He refused to allow any of his five children (three of whom are doctors) to accept federal student loans, and he will not accept his congressional pension. He voted against campaign-finance regulation in 2002 and the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act in 2006, denouncing the former as the left’s attack on free speech and the latter as the right’s attack. Because they are “not authorized within the enumerated powers of the Constitution,” he regularly votes against awarding gold medals to distinguished figures, including—gasp—the Gipper.”

That’s from a George Will piece over at Newsweek on February 25, 2007. If you don’t know Ron Paul, you should. He’s one of the last chances this country will have at restoring some of the many liberties we’ve lost in the last 90-years. Why not watch his interview above?
