If you like the small government you need to work hard at having a strong national defense that is not so militant. Personal liberty is the purpose of government, to protect liberty - not to run your personal life, not to run the economy, and not to pretend that we can tell the world how they ought to live. - Ron Paul
One might live long enough to run out of other people's money. Therefore one should not become a liberal.
I stopped being a liberal about 8 years ago when I started to learn about libertarianism. Thank you, Ron Paul!

Happy to see you learning my friend. https://mises.org/wire would be a great place to learn. I've spent hundreds of hours there.
