Ron Paul Please Run For Texas Governor!

Paul is incredibly radical, and if he isn’t libertarian, is one of the most extreme minarchists I have ever seen.

Almost everyone associated with the C4L is a paleo-con or a libertarian. Some like Anthony Gregory are anarchists.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I gave up trying to classify people or groups using such terms long ago. Maybe I just don’t see the point. Whatever RP “is”, I like his thought process.

I went through this when I got here.

Hehe, what was the end result/conclusion?

Of course we will only approach the ideal through gradual steps.

You know it’s good you agree with me on this here–I’m trying to make the same kind of point in another thread here and someone just seems to want to argue over it, vs demanding overnight change (I guess), and I don’t quite understand why.

I’m not sure we are totally agreed. I DO demand overnight change! It is the only right thing to do! It is also the only way to achieve gradual change. Demand immediate cessation of all wrongful activity, and you have a chance of achieving gradual cessation. Demand gradual cessation, and you’ll get nothing.

(Read that Rothbard link!)

Hmm, I see what you’re saying. It’s a good point that I’ll have to think about. I’ll read the link too.

I can say that I only expect a gradual change to be possible..

I think RP talks about voting in this speech if anyone still cares.

He talks about having some friends that make an intellectual decision not to vote, but he thinks voting is a good idea. Of course, he might just feel like he has to say that to be taken seriosly.

Thanks, that’s exactly the video I was looking for.
