A Stitch in Haste

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine...But Haste Makes Waste

A collection of real-world libertarian, individualist and laissez-faire rants on law, economics, politics, culture and other current events
by an average, everyday lawyer & investment banker and part-time pop scholar.

Ron Paul and the L-Word
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

---
A self-standing comment I left on another blog:
Can you cite to one occasion in this campaign where Ron Paul has, unsolicited and not in response to an interviewer's question, used the word "libertarian"? Can you point to one page at his website that contain the word "libertarian"? Even his bio page omits his 1992 1988 big-L Libertarian candidacy.

Paul calling himself "a proud constitutionalist"* is like a gay calling himself "a proud alternative-lifestyler."

---

*And he's not even that. "Constitutionalists" don't believe that theocracy and anti-gay bigotry are perfectly hunky-dory so long as they occur at the state level. "Constitutionalists" do not complain about "rogue judges." And so on...
No substantive responses so far. Go figure.
