I know there is a spilt of opinion here on whether FastPat was insane or just infantile, but as you might remember, Ron Paul was his favorite candidate. Even so, I admit it is a bit harsh to suggest he's insane, he's probably just an eccentric posing as a Libertarian.

If you watch and listen to him long enough you might come to the same opinion as me. It's easy for anyone to put up a web site with all the right buzz words - constitutionalist, pro-property rights, taxes only for necessary government spending - that get people like us all excited. But you have to look beyond the code words to see who's standing behind the curtain. I'm just concerned he's stumbled on a bunch of populist-sounding buzz words that cover up a rather odd view of the world. For instance, regularly votes against all new spending? I'm as conservative as the next guy, but a bridge I drive over every day at about 6 pm collapsed at about 6 pm. I like the government spending reasonable amounts of money on bridges and roads. I like driving my car on public roads. I can make my living because I am able to safely and quickly drive my car from my home in the suburbs downtown to my office and back. I'd like the government to initiate some new spending to build a new bridge that will get me home safely without me having to snake through the backroads. I don't like government waste, but saying no new spending for anything is not just making a point, it's weird.
