the ron paul phenomenon.

the widespread liberal youth support for texas representative ron paul continues to confuse me. initially i saw the appeal or his harsh words for the bush foreign policy doctrine and the bush domestic spying policy. however, the more i heard him speak, the less i was able to understand the "ron paul revolution." ron paul has continually touted his view that the department of education should be "eliminated." basically, he believes public education should be privatized and run by the same corporate megaliths that are (in my opinion) ruining our country. realistically, i could go on for at least another few paragraphs of rep. paul's views that conflict with those of his supporters (complete denial of the peril of our planet and sexist position of anti-choice) but, i think i got my point across. the 'ron paul revolution,' which is widely supported young liberals is a 'revolution' based on idealistic, sexist, and ignorant approaches to domestic issues and issues of personal liberty.
