So why do YOU like Ron Paul so much?

I truly want to know.  All bullshit, flaming, and racial slurs aside (which, I know, is impossible on 4chan), why do you (or anyone) like Ron Paul so much?  I just don't see what is so revolutionary about his campaign.  It seems he is sort of a Jeffersonian Republican... but if you know American history, you'd know that that didn't really work out so well.  His stance against the war is admirable, but not revolutionary.  A candidate like Gravel is far more appealing to me, with the National Initiative and his economic stance.

Yes, you have every right to kill those on your property for whatever reason.  It's your property--you're allowed to set whatever terms you like as a condition for entering.  If others don't like them, they can leave.

The notion of the "social contract" is absurd and void.  It is false.

"like the right to a safe workplace."

Except no such right objectively exists.  The set of individual rights is static, and is not subject to fiat but rather is a logical consequence of man's fundamental nature as a being that must act in its own rational self-interest to survive.  Every individual that has ever lived, is living now, and will ever live possesses the exact same static, unchanging, universal set of rights.  "Society" is not entitled to expand, modify, or reduce these.

The only difference is the extent to which the government in power RECOGNIZES those rights--and, not coincidentally, that is the extent to which that government is morally legitimate.
