I've heard Ron Paul considers himself to be a libertarian.

A world where people only care about themselves does not sound like the kind of place that I want to live in. Think about applying that idea to your own life. Do you only do what is in your own self-interest, at all times? Somehow I doubt it. I don't understand why this sort of idea would never apply to micro social structures but somehow applies to marco social structures.

Yes, a few people posting on 2+2 have clearly demonstrated that liberalism is actually people trying to push gay marriage and outlaw private property. I surrender. Do you have Ann Coulter's number? I have the names of some collaberators I would like to turn in.

I've done things before that weren't in my best self-interests. Those things were called "mistakes". Look around you man, the concept of "me" makes the world go round. Name anything you want, and I will show you why people do it because they feel it is in their own self-interests.

It's funny how the meaning of liberalism has changed over the years. At the beginning of the twentieth century, being a liberal meant favoring laissez-faire economic policies and personal choice...the basic elements of liberty. But the socialists co-opted the word liberal and applied it to their economic policies, and suddenly laissez-faire became a conservative policy.
