>Ron Paul 'Farewell to Congress' speech and transcript  - Ron Paul - 
Ron Paul will go down in history -- unfortunately not as he intended, as a champion of individual liberty.

He will go down in American history, rather, as a later day Neville Chamberlain. Where Chamberlain played the fool to Germany and Hitler, Paul played the useful idiot to Iran.

He will down in history as well the man who blamed American for the terrorist attack of 9/11, having made the inane comment on any number of occasions that our having bases in other countries warranted such an attack.

He will down in history as a man who, in his final years, joined the anarchists in supporting State rights over Individual Rights. During the Republican debates on mandatory health care he was adamant that, should he be elected President, he would not have the authority to counter any coercive force a State of the Union may chose to use against its citizens. In similar logic of holding State Rights above Individual Rights, he repeadtedly denounced the actions of President Lincoln in refusing to allow the South to secede -- ignoring the fact that the South initiated force (a basic tenet of Libertarians determing guilt) or that the South was enslaveing, torturing, murderings tens of thousands of individuals. Then we have his stonewalling on the authorship of the many racist articles in the newsletters bannering his name: he didn't know, he can't recall, he was too busy to take notice, etc, etc.

Ron Paul's life is one, not of dedication to individual liberty, but of mixed values, contradictions, and failure to consumate his early promise.
