It's been a while, but I remember Ron Paul as quite the wack job. He was quite the hypocrite on individual rights, or I suppose, almost like the Jim Crow laws of past years. He would declare freedoms for everyone, but vote on so many restrictions it was clear he opposed the rights of most all but his own preferences.
He is misogynistic, homophobic, gives preference to the right of people to spread hate than prosecute the crimes, and doesn't "believe" in global climate changes--or pretty much science in general.
I find the catagory of "liberatarian" to mostly be a charade of self interests
....but not as wacky as his son Rand!!!!
Be that as it may, what he said about Joe Biden still stands.It's been a while, but I remember Ron Paul as quite the wack job.

What restrictions did he vote for? The only ones that I am aware of are giving states the power to criminalize flag burning, and preventing gay couples from adopting, but consider that he was also the only senator who voted against the patriot act, which was far more authoritarian than any flag burning law, also remember that Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton both voted against legalizing gay marriage.It's been a while, but I remember Ron Paul as quite the wack job.

I don't think that he a misogynist, however he's probably homophobic.
...and what he says about Ron Paul is still true
Here's the thing....everyone says things that have merit, but when you use them as examples you are, by default, giving them credence.,'
I could pick out things Micheal Vick said that were nice about dogs at the time he was running dogfighting. Or pick out good things about vegetables from Weston Price. Both would be horrible ideas, and really give people the wrong impression of where I stand.
Ron Paul voted against hate crimes because he felt it encrouched on peoples rights.
He wanted to make abortions illegal. and contraception harder to obtain. He was quite opposed to all equal rights IMO
And I don't disagree with him, Why should crime committed out of hate be treated any differently than a regular crime?
Indeed he did, and as I have no opinion on abortion I have nothing more to say on the topic.
I think it's worth pointing out that he voted against banning gay marriage twice, Which is more than can be said for either Biden or Hillary.

Yes. Ron Paul voted against some stuff that nobody else did - and should have.
however, basically Ron Paul voted against almost everything,

Every time I see something bad about Florida I am tempted to bring it up and tease the VF Floriidans ( I think there are three). but I'm afraid of starting a civil war: Florida vs California. If California doesn't fall into the Pacific, it looks like this summer it's going to catch fire and blow away. So I sort of feel this isn't the time.
But anyway.

A Florida Man does help provide some comic relief and fodder for Florida Crime Writers. tho. so there is that
Speaking of A Florida Man, then there is this.
Not exactly Karma. but sort of ironic.

Regardless, the post was supposed to be about Biden and what he did, not Ron Paul.
