Comments on: What do Dan Savage and AFTAH’s Mike Heath have in common? https://wthrockmorton.com/2011/12/28/what-do-dan-savage-and-aftahs-mike-heath-have-in-common/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Wed, 30 May 2018 18:26:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Fiona Mackenzie https://wthrockmorton.com/2011/12/28/what-do-dan-savage-and-aftahs-mike-heath-have-in-common/#comment-82180 Wed, 30 May 2018 18:26:44 +0000 http://wthrockmorton.com/?p=10747#comment-82180 In light of Paul’s recently locking into a preacher who advocates executing gays, Dan may want to re-think this opinion. The “libertarian” idea of personal freedom without government interference is tempting, especially to those who have suffered persecution. It is ESSENTIAL not to forget that this idyllic world of individual choice is for straight white males in good health and corporations, only.

The US Constitution DOES NOT grant rights to the people, it grants rights to the GOVERNMENT.

I disagree. The US Constitution (or at least the “Bill of Rights” that consists of the first ten Amendments) doesn’t “grant rights” to the government”

The Constitution (not just the bill of rights) specifies the specific powers (rights) of the government.

Would that it were not true at all. So I doubt the comparison Savage makes does not speak to an endorsement but to those unfortunate degrees of devilry.

To tell you the truth, Ron Paul’s ideology is almost identical to Father Caughlin’s, some 60 years ago – including “end the Fed.” I don’t think that Paul likes Jewish people very much either. Moreover, Paul’s positions on the Fed and the gold standard sheer crackpottery.

Without going into an Austrian School rant, Paul is no economist. He should stick to treating hemorrhoids rather than causing similar discomfort.
