Just because his stated goal is internally consistent with his message/platform it doesn't mean he's right.
I agree, and that consistency is what keeps him from actually being a hypocrite. If he actually believed in anarchism, and that it was the only path to take toward liberty and freedom then he would be a hypocrite. If his conception of freedom and liberty mirrored the what they are under the anarchist framework, then he would be contradicting himself... but he's not because he's not an anarchist. Being at odds with a concept you do not acknowledge does not make you a hypocrite. It would be as if Christians were calling Muslims hypocrites for believing in god. They're not on the same page about what is god... Jesus and the sunshine gang vs Allah the moon god, similarly anarchists and Ron Paul approach the concepts in different ways.
He says he's interested in freedom and liberty. He works for the government. Freedom? Liberty? Not so much.
Even your conceptions of government differ. Every word in the sentence you criticized has a different connotation to a libertarian than it does to an anarchist... they seem at once almost similar positions but they are very different.
if you'd want to take the argument-from-effect approach
The effect of revolutionary anarchism in America would result in nothing less than a long period of violent gang warfare. America is too diverse and unintegrated, and lines are drawn between people in every direction because the government schools highlight them all for us and then the entertainments people inhale nightly reinforce them. The pop cultures and sub cultures are all mindless. The differences in sexual preference, color, and religion would be enough fuel to reignite a very bloody riotous prolonged war. The prevailing consciousness in this country actually IS (thanks to Christianity) that people only abstain from killing you and stealing all of your things just because they believe they'll get into trouble for it. Take Katrina for example, because it is a perfect example. If you'll recall the property damage and looting from shop owners, people putting their own lives in danger to get away with something they felt they could get away with. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9131493/
Magnify this on a national level keeping in mind that New Orleans isn't even ranked among the top 25 most dangerous U.S. cities. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0921299.html
It's not a matter of "strategy" - it's a matter of honesty.
Lunacy! It IS a matter of strategy if you want to attempt to make this transition with as little bloodshed as possible... you can't just jump into it and honestly believe very turbulent times don't lie in the immediate future. I know it's less personal and much easier for Canadians talking about American politics to say these kinds of things, but are you prepared for a destabilized nuclear power killing itself just south of your border?
Unless you're bloodlust is absolutely insatiable you would at least attempt to see a very positive thing coming from Ron Paul. I think it's absolutely barbaric to hold the position that one should vote for Hillary because it will speed the demise of a nation, plunging it into riotous violence and starvation.
Ron Paul, if you'll listen, is directly blaming the government for screwing everything up just by being involved, including the minarchist/libertarian view that it serves only as protector of individual rights... Ron Paul is pointing out that we have NONE left or what little we have is diminishing! It's not even capable of serving it's own intended purpose.
Think of the positive potentials of a Ron Paul administration and the direction these positives could carry us prosperously and peacefully after 8 years of change.
Sound Currency to stop the hyperinflation... they're currently playing with the numbers and pretending our economy is growing.
No IRS or Income Tax.
No welfare state.
No Federal Reserve central bank depriving us of our wealth.
No department of government education telling everyone what not to think.
These are only a few of the major ones. These are radical shifts in thinking for American politics and the very fact that people are so responsive to it forces me to cling to the hope that this transition can be made much more softly than a collapse.
