  Ron Paul is... Well, a Bigot

  Paul has argued on Meet the Press that Lincoln could have avoided the "War between the States" by doing what Britain had done: Purchase all of the slaves and set them free. Now, if that's not ridiculous on its face, he's got more. He believes in a static, non-dynamic constitution. He believes in throwback ideas that deserve to be left in the dark corners of our Nation's history. He also is a hell of a devotee of the Austrian anti-regulatory school of economics, which started out as having very valid and necessary critiques of communism and socialism... but went (predictably) extreme. Paul has a creepy newsletter (over the past 20 years) that has been reprinted (selected entries, that is) recently in the New Republic. Go find it. Sidenote: Two Gay men living down the street have to have the largest Ron Paul for President sign I've seen in someones front yard. Irony.
