I Can’t Disagree

College-aged support for libertarians and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) represents the United States’ “only hope” in politics, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange told Campus Reform early Friday morning.
“The only hope as far as electoral politics… presently, is the libertarian section of the Republican party,” said Assange, in response to a question about the recent swell of college-aged and youth-based support for libertarianism.
“The libertarian aspect of the Republican Party is presently the only useful political voice really in the U.S. Congress,” said Assange. “[I] am a big admirer of Ron Paul and Rand Paul for their very principled positions in the U.S. Congress on a number of issues.”
I’m not so sure that Paul is some kind of saviour, I don’t have that much faith in either politicians or the formal political process, but I agree wholly that Paul seems to be on the right side of many of the government abuse issues that are most important. He’s not perfect, but as long as he openly decries Constitutional abuses he’s one of the very few sane voices in DC.
