Machiavelli himself explained why this is so, “A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example.”

Good article, and it did _not_ say "Libertarian faction of the GOP", but "Liberty Movement".
I didn't see the usual anti-Paul talking points, thanks.
