No, not Giuliani. There’s a lot to like about the guy, but I just don’t think I could. He’s for way too much gun control, and he pulls up disappointingly soon on gay marriage.
No, I’m talking about Ron Paul, the taxpayer’s best friend and a true defender of liberty. Looks like he’s running for president in 2008, and absent something truly extraordinary and wholly unexpected, he will have my support.
Ron Paul’s Freedom Principles:
- Rights belong to individuals, not groups.
- Property should be owned by people, not government.
- All voluntary associations should be permissible — economic and social.
- The government’s monetary role is to maintain the integrity of the monetary unit, not participate in fraud.
- Government exists to protect liberty, not to redistribute wealth or to grant special privileges.
- The lives and actions of people are their own responsibility, not the government’s.
