What I'm trying to get at is what Ron Paul's true beliefs are---his ideology. I think Paul would prefer to have almost a 100% libertarian society with a few exceptions. Here's an example. Do you think he'd really support giving so much power to the states? If the constitution is followed to a "T," states can be extremely socialist. I'm sure that Ron believes in natural rights, and, with that said, I conjecture that his ideal isn't giving states or even local governments the power to violate natural rights. I think that Ron only may support states rights because returning power to the states much easier thing to accomplish than trying to drastically change the basics of the constitution.
I'm not saying that Ron's a 100% libertarian. For example, he's pro-life although a libertarian could just as easily argue pro-life if such a libertarian considers the fetus as having rights to life. But I'm just pointing out that Ron's ideological beliefs may be somewhat not congruent with what he preaches and votes as a politician. What say you?
