It's been priceless listening to the libertarian-minded run down Ron Paul, the one candidate who speaks from a presumption of individual liberty.
Sure, some of his views are controversial, especially his misunderstanding of national sovereignty, the only context in which liberty can flourish. I would submit that rather than dismissing him as a nut, thus imparting a disreputable air to the very concept of individual liberty, it would be better to use his example to influence the candidates one prefers in a direction more respectful of the citizen's natural rights.
There’s something perfectly Paulian about the blimp. It’s a stunt, in the best sense of the term—big, memorable, and utterly silly—a lot like Ron Paul’s candidacy itself, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
There is a real nobility to what the Paul people are doing, though. Whatever the eccentricities of their candidate, they are devoting a lot of energy to the defense of liberty and for that they deserve praise.
I just wish they would heed William F. Buckley's example. Buckley resolved a long time ago to support the most right viable candidate. What good does it do to back the likes of Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter? If you want to scale back government, why not support someone who actually has a shot at doing it?
If, by some miracle, Paul actually became the Republican nominee, he would only be ensuring tha Hillary Clinton became the 44th President of the United States. Those of us who oppose heavy government control ought to be doing our best to prevent that.
You wouldn't know a 'Quitoxic' quest, nor Nobility, if, either, bit you in the a**.
There's a bit of unintended irony, coming as it did on top of an implied expletive.
At any rate, I'm pretty sure I'd notice Nobility if it bit me in the aye star star. However, Ron Paul biting me in the aye star star would not be an example of being bit in the aye star star by Nobility; it would merely prove that Ron Paul had gone just about as batty as some of his religiously Zealoxtic followers.

Don Quixote was a real 'noble' guy, too.
Woody, please take it as a complement, F*** Ewe.

And, yes, I'd lay 7-2 on it.
btw, I meant 'e', not 'i'..
