Nothing RP said during that debate was anti-Israel. If anyone is anti-Israel, it's the so-called conservatives who do not respect Israel's sovereignty and expect her to come running to the American Empire for permission to make a frickin' move.

From Gerson's article:


The conservative alternative to libertarianism is necessarily more complex. It is the teaching of classical political philosophy and the Jewish and Christian traditions that true liberty must be appropriate to human nature. The freedom to enslave oneself with drugs is the freedom of the fish to live on land or the freedom of birds to inhabit the ocean — which is to say, it is not freedom at all. Responsible, self-governing citizens do not grow wild like blackberries. They are cultivated in institutions — families, religious communities and decent, orderly neighborhoods. And government has a limited but important role in reinforcing social norms and expectations — including laws against drugs and against the exploitation of men and women in the sex trade.

Hmmm, that's interesting, considering that for roughly the first 150 years of this country's existence, Jews were, for all intents and purposes, second class citizens.

Gerson is just another statist control freak, looking to wrap his will to power in shrouds of "caring".

Here's the difference between Ron Paul's and the GOP's drug policy.

Ron Paul doesn't want to use a gun and violence. The GOP does.

That's about as simple as it gets.
