My observations elsewhere in the blogworld reveal that if you do a post about Ron Paul, thousands of enraged weirdos invade your blog to defend him.

So here are three reasons Ron Paul is a fucking nutcase:

- He wants to return to the gold standard and abolish the Federal Reserve.

- He wants to abolish the income tax, and

Paul supports elimination of most federal government agencies, such as the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Administration, and the Interstate Commerce Commission, calling them unnecessary bureaucracies.

- And then there's this:

In 2005, Paul introduced the We the People Act, which would have removed "any claim involving the laws, regulations, or policies of any State or unit of local government relating to the free exercise or establishment of religion" from the jurisdiction of federal courts. If made law, this provision would permit state, county, and local governments to decide whether to allow displays of religious text and imagery.

Um, no thanks.

Let the swarms of spittle-flecked, foil-hatted neo-LaRouchies descend! Tremble at their wrath!
