An Endorsement for Ron Paul from Caelum Et Terra

I have given slight hints in the past that I’m not a fan of libertarianism.  Despite that, Ron Paul wouldn’t be the worst person to put into the Oval Office.  If he were to receive the nomination, I would vote for him for President.  A fellow with similar non-libertarian leanings has endorsed Ron Paul.  Daniel Nichols was with the Catholic magazine Caelum et Terra before its demise.  We now get to enjoy their occasional musings at their blog.  A brief excerpt from his endorsement:

In truth, Dr. Paul’s political philosophy is badly flawed in light of Catholic teaching. His is an American individualist that falls far short of the communitarian Catholic vision of the common good.

That said, regardless of the philosophical source of his ideas, many of the practical proposals he makes would serve as a healthy corrective to the excesses of the Leviathan State which exist.

And where he is right–on the war and foreign policy, on abortion, on torture, on the restoration of the historic rights of Americans–he is very right, and uniquely right.
