I'm not going to question your political stance, but what I am going to ask is how can you consider someone who wants ban abortion on a federal level, as well as same-sex marriage and reintroduce prayer in schools a libertarian?
@Afriboy10 Well first off, your right that I don't agree with those things, but your wrong that he wants to do those things. He wants the federal government out of abortion and marriage, and let the states decide. It's imperfect but is satisfactory for me because the issues that are important to me he is right on. He wants to bring the troops home, end the drug war, balance the budget, and end the private federal reserve. He opposes bailouts and the patriot act.
Also, what would happen if states suddenly decide that women can't consult their doctors on their decisions? What if states suddenly decide children should pray in schools? If not for a federal judge, a South Dakota law would have forced women seeking abortion to wait three days and undergo a pregnancy counseling session designed to discourage her. Ron Paul would be fine with that.
@Afriboy10 Look, I'm not pro-life, so your right those things concern me. But what concerns me more is our militant foreign policy, and the destruction of civil liberties with the PATRIOT Act and the War on Drugs. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people thrown in a cage because of activities that the elites don't like. I think the good of Ron Paul far outweighs the bad. Can you really live with Obama, who has drone striked other countries and killed countless innocents?
@Afriboy10 And while it is true that sometimes States can overreach and pass bad laws, so can the Federal government, and think about it, it is much easier to overturn bad laws in states than it is federally. Government is force. It is coercion, and generally it is immoral, but so long as we have government, I would prefer it to be as local and accountable as possible.
@Afriboy10 And as for school prayer, he wants localities to decide what to do, and allow parents the ability to decide what school to send their children to. If parents want to send their kids to a religious school with prayer, they can, if parents want to send their kids to a school that doesn't touch on religion, they can. He doesn't want governments to force behavior or activity. It's immoral.
Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who is willing to turn us away from our path toward economic collapse and chaos. All of the others offer more of the same failed policies. All of the other candidates offer us the very UNREAL idea that government can fix our lives and give us all a fairy tale life. Ron Paul is the only one who is grounded in reality. Let's support the one who accepts the reality of the Constitution and that freedom is the only solution to the human condition.

I heard Ron Paul talk jokingly about challenging Obama for the democratic nomination. He was just kidding but I think it's a good idea.
