1. I get the first "Ron Paul is evil" comment!
he's evil.

That said, I do like his stance on these things, and in comparison to other conservatives, him. Why? Because his politics actually follow somewhat from his principles. For instance, there is no clearer example of an unregulated free market than the illegal drug trade, yet most conservatives conveniently ignore that, while advocating at the same time for unregulated free markets. They have the kind of appetite for hypocrisy that allows them to cheer when Bush spends more than any president in history and does bailouts, and then try to start a revolution when Obama does the same bailouts and high spending. And I HATE that.

5. Legalize all drugs!
Maybe then I wouldn't drink so much beer. Oh, but that would piss off the alcohol industry.
