Why is Glen Greenwald's name popping up all over the board tonight?

92. None of those views are supported by Ron Paul's *IDEOLOGY*, just barely his *RHETORIC*.

Ron Paul has an ad against "imperialist military forces" yet his ideology means that he is for mercenaries working for corporations, because he's full absolute deregulation, he's for colonialist, banana republics.

The next is a video claiming he's for "due process." He uses a strawman about targeted killing, and waffles on Bin Laden. So is it targeted killing he's against, or just the targeted killing of American citizens? Given that he voted to hire mercenaries to kill Bin Laden, I don't take this very seriously.

His argument on the "drug war" is all well and good, and it sounds real nice, but he's for absolute deregulation. Yes, removing the drug laws would get a lot of black people out of jail, but by the same token, the cartels that it would produce because there would be no federally regulated dispensaries nor federal regulation of drug distribution, under his own views, you've just created a new kind of drug war. Nevermind that he would be against laws that discriminate based upon drug use, and indeed, would be pro-business doing drug testing.

Anti-fed/anti-wall street is just silliness. The guy is for cutting corporate tax rates, destroying the entire social welfare net that this country has produced over almost 70 years, and overall putting the entire fate of the country into the hands of corporations and the wealthy.

Does this look like a "black/white" partisan viewpoint? No. This is an analysis of Ron Paul's personal views. Click the link in my sig for actual examples. Ron Paul's ideas sound good but they are not what they sound like. It's Libertarian doublespeak.
