Please tell me you don't actually think this is what the Republicans stand for. These are merely code words they use to describe their beliefs. Let me break it down and show what they actually mean when they use these terms.
small government - I want the government to do what I want it to do. (They want a government just as big only they want to use it to regulate things like women's reproduction and create an even bigger industrial military complex.)
people support themselves - I don't give a fuck what happens to anyone else.
civil liberties - People should be able to exercise their freedoms as long as they are the freedoms I deem appropriate.
individual freedom - People can do what they want as long as it's what I want them to do.
The ultimate goal of the Republicans is not freedom for the individual. Their ultimate goal is a Christian theocracy. These two concepts are entirely in conflict with each other.

Everything else he supports and says would never make it past congress. Our education would pass into the private sector. We would be FORCED to support private schools, and once it all was done and said for, we would be spending MORE on education and our scientific education would drop even lower than it is now, as surely the stock owners of the private schools would want the American public to be as stupid as fuck unless you paid premium money to get taught REAL science and biology.
Not only that, but it will further the system of the poor stay poor. Upward mobility wil become even more of a pipe dream since the one thing that truly makes it possible is a good education. Our current system is broken in this sense, because the poorer the community, the worse the schools. Ron Paul's ideas wil make it even worse.
