Ron Paul Votes Against Freedom

Surprising no one who pays the slightest bit of attention, Ron Paul has made it abundantly clear that he is an enemy of liberty.  Here's the text of the resolution he opposed:

"Expressing support for all Iranian citizens who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties, and rule of law, and for other purposes.

"Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

"(1) expresses its support for all Iranian citizens who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties, and rule of law;

"(2) condemns the ongoing violence against demonstrators by the Government of Iran and pro-government militias, as well as the ongoing government suppression of independent electronic communication through interference with the Internet and cellphones; and

"(3) affirms the universality of individual rights and the importance of democratic and fair elections."

So... He voted against a BS resolution that accomplishes nothing, that's completely outside the scope of what Congress is supposed to be for, and this makes him an enemy of liberty?

Sounds more like he's doing the job he was hired for to me, but, YMMV.

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. MM definitely does V. But your opinion is duly noted.
