Reply #12: Giving Libertarianism a bad name [View All]

[Alpha Numeric Wanda]

I get (I think) where Dr. Paul is coming from. You can make the argument that the US was founded as the ultimate free society and that government should be more like the Supreme Court is supposed to be -- i.e. less activist. But RP takes the issue too far. Which is too bad, because in this day of "too big to fail" and government and private interests so in bed together they might as well be f***ing like honeymooners, I'd enjoy a reasonable discussion of what the legitimate role of government is in private business interests. Saying that the Civil Rights Act of '64 (or for that matter the ADA) overreached is just setting yourself up for ridicule.
