(154,021 posts)Where exactly am I telling you to go vote for Ron Paul? Rand Paul maybe?
I will make it easy on you...NOWHERE...so take that and shove it.
Slowly again for the reading impaired...it is a Sub-current in us history, preceding the foundation of the Libertarian party by 300 years...and includes current populist Democrats, such as Udall and Wyden.
Of course I am not using your tendentious definition of it, but political science and history.
You might want to read some of those strange things with type from time to time. They don't byte...serious.
It is like anti intellectualism, and populism...they are there...in the background, part of the fabric of the country. It is part of the myth of American individualism. What...you think that started with Ron Paul? Are you that ignorant? Serious? You should read "A New Canaan" a book written in the 1600s. The idea of the individual as the center of all goes back to the Yeoman farmer, which actually goes to Elizabethan England and the 15 century.. But serious, that book is the first place where we find that strain in.
I recommend a modern day translation. Old English will give you fits.
So yes, we are having an error to communicate. That term you use as a pejorative does not mean what you think it does.
