Noting Ron Paul's anti-interventionist position "may be the most mainstream thing" the Congressman believes, Todd Seavey writes (you'll have to scroll way down to get to this part):

In contrast to his views on the military, I'm completely onboard with Paul in his desire to:

-abolish the Federal Reserve

-end Federal involvement in drug enforcement

-abolish the income tax

-dismantle the entire welfare state

-get the U.S. out of the U.N.

-restore the gold standard and/or allow private currency production

-end all subsidies

-eliminate virtually all Cabinet-level agencies

And so on. Who would have thought, in other words, that being antiwar is the thing that would get him "in trouble"? I only wish I could take this to mean we're all now in agreement on all those other items.

Me too!
