"Well, you criticize Greenwald no matter what. Your current link obsession is just the latest."

...I supposed to care that you object to my criticizing Greenwald? I mean, Democrats have an "obsession" with criticizing Republicans. I do that all the time. As long as Greenwald continues hyping Paul, I'll criticize him.

What's your opinion of Obama signing the NDAA? What's your opinion of the expansion of spying powers under Obama's watch?

Why do you keep assiduously avoiding a substantive discussion about Obama? (rhetorical question?)

Seriously, do you think red herrings and strawmen arguments work?

Now, back to the OP: Do you agree that with the premise of the piece, "If Voters Cared About Liberty, Ron Paul Would Be the Frontrunner," and this statement: "But with the exception of Ron Paul, all the Republican candidates, as well as President Obama, share a decidedly un-American disregard for liberty."
