The condescension to and mockery of the sole Republican candidate who seems to care about individual liberty has begun to tick me off.

He deserves more respect than he has gotten thus far, not least because compared to the pandering of his competitors, Paul actually seems to believe what he says. And what he says has more to do with conservatism than the crap the rest of them are peddling. Here's a clip worth watching again:
