Ron Paul = full-on ranting kook.
Libertarianism = Anarchy, with protection for rich people.

Ron Paul would probably seem like a kook to someone who is brainwashed by socialist ideas. However, to the rest of us taxpaying citizens who are compulsorily paying for your nanny state ideals he has sound ideas.

I’d take anarchy over the garbage both parties have shoved down our throat — if that reduces the intervention of government in our lives. We’ve been faced with the choice of having tyranny abroad in expanding our global empire, or tyranny at home in the erosion of our liberties.
