Many people think they know Ron Paul’s true libertarian philosophy of limited government. Most of those people haven’t read his latest book. The Left call him a racist and say the country will plunge into chaos with the anarchy he proposes. Never mind the fact that he always calls for graceful processes to rid ourselves of the many unconstitutional federal government organizations and programs and preaches equality through freedom.

Here is a video that demonstrates the socialist Left perception of Ron Paul’s libertarianism. This is a short video of a busy intersection in India.

Now that’s a bit crazy. No wonder some on the left think Ron Paul is a bit of a kook. However, realize this: No one was hurt and everyone seems to get where they are going.

Unfortunately, many on the right do as well, but for a different reason. Those on the right think he’s crazy because he’s too pure or “black and white” on his principles. They believe in following the Constitution, but only where it benefits them. Ron Paul wants to treat it as if it is the “supreme law of the land.” How dare him? It doesn’t matter to them that the Constitution actually has those words in it.

So here is the view of those on the Right of Ron Paul in video form. This is a video of someone who calls himself “Jimmy Justice” and patrols the streets of New York looking for public servants breaking the law, even a law as inconsequential as performing a u-turn in a business district.

Those on the Right get it right, but they are improperly critical of him for being that way. Ron Paul is the Jimmy Justice of the Presidential election, and I for one love him for it.

Those critical of Ron Paul from the Left and the Right are as Mr. Justice says in the video: Boobs.
