Paul Conflicted: Limited Government v Sanctity of Life

Ron Paul proudly asserts that he’s a small government believer, and that the government should get out of the citizenry’s private affairs. This disguise is quickly torn away to reveal a ravening big-government bear, when one contemplates two of his 2007 proposals in The House of Representatives that were each given the same short [...]

The Elevation of Property Rights to Primacy

American Libertarian theorists often posit a Natural Right to Private Property, and a lack of a State’s Right to possess Real Property of any kind. They have elevated a right to own property to an axiom of libertarian thought without qualifications. This concept is aided by the common depiction of a two-tiered model of [...]

The word property is found four times in the U.S. Constitution.
One: Article IV; Section 3; Clause 2:
The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so [...]

Immigration and Original Intent - Part 1

Ron Paul’s positions regarding immigration cannot be squared with the Original Intents of this Nation’s founding. At America’s very foundation lies the cornerstone that is The Declaration of Independence. This was a revolutionary document which posited that ALL humans were endowed at birth, by that which they perceive as the force of Creation, with Inalienable [...]

As I noted previously, Paul’s Immigration Policy Positions cannot be squared with the original intent of the Declaration of Independence, because of its implied Natural Right, which ALL Humans possess: Expatriation. Also, one of the Declaration of Independence’s reasons justifying the severance of English citizenship was that King George had:
“…endeavoured to prevent [...]

Natural Rights

Many rational persons, whose intelligence far exceeds my own, have postulated persuasively that “Natural Rights” do not exist. This is not a treatise of ontological hypotheses. There need be no attempt to prove these arguments either right or wrong; becoming entangled within the multitudinous variability that represents the set of humans’ ideations [...]
