but sometimes Ron Paul is really right

For example:

“Ron Paul became the first and probably last of the Republican candidates to criticise Barack Obama for signing into law at the weekend the National Defence Authorisation Act that allows the military to indefinitely detain terror suspects, including US citizens. The act has been heavily criticised by civil rights groups.

Paul, out on the campaign trail after a weekend break at home in Texas, brought howls of outrage when he brought up the new legislation. The response of the crowd was spontaneous and genuine, going well beyond the normal expressions of support for a candidate.”

The legislation is a terrible mistake. If ever there were dangerous “slippery slope” potential, it’s here.
