    used to be a Ron Paul supporter. some of his ideas were genuinely forward thinking. overall though, he was just a pawn to bring libertarians to the conservative table.

    I burned his book because I didn’t want anyone else to get their hands on it and think he was anything but a charlatan.

        personally I’m a fan of personal freedoms. I don’t believe that healthcare should be mandated by the federal government(however I do believe that universal healthcare should be available).

        I don’t think firearms should require registration, but I do believe that firearm ownership should be licensed and graded based on training and experience.

        I also believe that prostitution should be legalized and taxed no different than weed or alcohol.

        like I said, some of his ideas were unbaked but they actually made more sense to me than any other candidates at the time.
