SamIam: I was described by a poster, on RB, as a Jeffersonian Republican. I find this more reflective of my personal governmental philosophy as opposed to the straight Libertarian Party platforms. I know that I differ from Dr. Paul on some matters. However, I hold him in high regard because of his consistency and his integrity. Throughout the years, I have found people, of his and my ilk, to be accepting of all peoples and enjoying the diversity that they bring. This differs from tolerance along the same lines as a food being edible and a food being delectable.
This administration has especially played on Islamophobia to advance some of its nefarious purposes. Obviously, Dr. Paul's stance on American foreign policy diametrically opposes such madness. I entertain that Dennis Kucinich would oppose such scapegoatism and intolerance.
