Ron Paul, Enemy of Liberty?

There's a lot to like about Ron Paul. But we ought not to be naïve. There's a lot to like in part because he gets so much right; but there's also a lot to like just because the alternatives are so bad. Here's a good post that points out why unqualified support of Paul makes little scriptural sense. I point to this not because I don't think we should respect the man, nor because I don't believe he's a good man. Regarding the former: I think we should; and about the latter: I think he is. Yet, one can see and hear and feel the hitches and catches in his political machine. So, as Wilson says, if you're going to vote for him, as I may well do, do so with your eyes open. But don't vote for him with the same kind of naïveté that accompanied the vote for the guy we're now stuck with—stuck with, that is, with eyes wide open, mouths agape, aghast.
