You hear people use phrases like I’m a Goldwater or Reagan republican, some are now saying a Ron Paul republican. My thoughts are that Ron Paul’s ideas of liberty and freedom stretch farther than any party line into American ideals which is why I am a Ron Paul American.
A Ron Paul American believes in freedom in commerce and in life
A Ron Paul American believes in the sovereignty of nations
A Ron Paul American believes in history and knowledge as medium of change
A Ron Paul American believes in civil disobedience
For this and so many other reason, I am a Ron Paul American. Are you?

Does freedom of commerce include the presence of homelessness, a lack of minimum wage, and the presence of wage-slavery jobs?
Does the sovereignty of nations include the ability to strip unauthorized immigrants of basic civil rights — that is, does the sovereignty of the nation supersede the sovereignty of the individual?

In response to the question from “Anarchist” (and what a charming moniker!):
You might as well have asked “does my dog have black hair?” Freedom of commerce does not include or exclude homelessness, but it does expand economic output towards efficiency. Setting minimum wages runs contrary to the freedom of commerce, as it restricts parties’ ability to enter into contracts they both choose. As for “wage-slavery”, I have no idea what you’re talking about.
