I have often wondered if Dr. Paul might be a "double agent" so to speak. Excuse me while I adjust my tinfoil hat.... If he is a "sleeper" he is a phenomenal one. The good Doctor has talked a consistent game for the last 40 years. That is significant in contrast to the political class in current control of our lives. Such principled

Good questions. Difficult to answer briefly but I'll try as I hate to type too much. Re: Natural Rights I come at it from the Scriptural perspective that our rights are given by God and are inalienable, that is, we cannot give them away.
