Listen, if you aren't going to even debate using logic, then you are only making yourself look more immature. The fact of the matter is, Ron Paul wants us to have the same freedoms the constitution granted us in the first place. These have been taken from us over time. So no, I am not crying for anarchy, nor am I an an anarchist. Anarcho-Capitalism is a radical libertarian stance. It isn't really anarchy. So before you look any more like and ignorant bas tard I would hope you would at least state why the heck you think strong governments are going to help us because society always tends to revolt against them. Look beyond Soviet Russia and look to our revolution. Why the heck do you think we broke away from Britain? It was because a strong government was oppressing us. The bottom line is, we do need to weaken our government, whether you are for a libertarian stance or not. Otherwise, as Ron Paul said, we will become a fascist theocracy. Now I don't agree with the theocracy part so much, but we are going in a fascist direction.

I guess my question is, and your statement begs this, why does a stronger government equate to less freedom?

How does government really gain power in this country? By showing people how we enforce laws. Our government does not have the favor of the people anymore. Look at Bush's disapproval rating. While it isn't the whole government, it shows that a lot of people hate our president. Therefore our governments only way of gaining power is to control us through taxes and laws. The whole point of our government is to look at laws and deem them constitutional or unconstitutional. A strong government is only one who has more control over its people. As The Unfan said, a government can only take freedoms away, it can't give them. So how does a stronger government benefit us if it isn't giving us freedoms? It can't.
