A quick word on Ron Paul, then some links and my schedule next week. Given all the stuff that's come out over the past few days --- and it's just way too much to link to, just get on the internet or twitter and open a few doors --- I don't think any libertarian in good conscience can continue to support Paul as a candidate in any capacity. I certainly can't. There's no reasonable doubt left that Paul willfully lent his name to some mixture of very ugly segregationist thought crossed with the conspiratorial ideology of an anti-government militia man. Now, people can change (i.e. Bobby Byrd) and you can associate with ugliness for the greater good (i.e. northern Democrats during the 20th c.), and those sorts of rationalizations are fine as far as they go. But I'm not running a party and Ron Paul's not a serious candidate. So I'm done with him. I was probably going to vote for Gary Johnson in the general anyway. So that's fine.
