First, I think what he wrote here is more than just "an opinion about how the Christian faith is demeaned" by secularists. He is making much stronger statements than that.Quote:

As I've said elsewhere, I would support Paul as a lesser evil, if only because he is anti-neocon. Otherwise, I don't support his libertarian ideal of letting corporations run amok, which is what would happen if he accomplished his goals of dismantling the public sphere and privatizing it.
But, as others have said, I'm not worried about Paul winning anything. His candidacy, as admirable as it is, is just a diversion. He will never come close to winning anything. The corporate media will not allow it. They will crucify Paul if he gets anywhere near 15% or 20% support, just like they did with Howard Dean, and just like they'll do with anyone who even APPEARS to represent populist politics.
