<<<He just doesn't think the federal government should be involved in this stuff - white, black or green.>>>

His core beliefs are spelled out in Atlas Shrugged and the Fountain Head. He named his son after the author Ayn Rand.

His core beliefs (as opposed to specific issues) are repugnant.

There are a lot of people against war and militarism.

It is easy to imagine:

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one


But Ayn Rand imagined some crazy stuff.

No compassion.
No altrusm.
Let the poor take care themselves.
Greed is good.

Ayn Rand and Ron Paul imagine a lot of stuf that wil not make the world better.

Ron Paul imo imagines a lotof stuff that will harm an awful lot of people.

He is lying when he says that was the reason he voted against a medal for Rosa Parks. And if not he is an idiot. How much does a medal cost. Good lord, you buy his shit.

Maybe he should pick better fights. It wasn't proper for our nation to praise Rosa Parks? That is dumb even if it is not cynical.
