'''{{w|Ron Paul}}''' is a US politician who served as a member of the {{w|United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives}} for a Congressional district in Texas until 2013. While technically a member of the Republican Party, his politics are extremely {{w|libertarianism|libertarian}} and not accepted by mainstream Republicans. His philosophy of small government calls for the end of the wars on terror and drugs as being contrary to the proper role of the Federal government, as well as costly and ineffective. These policies have made him popular among independent-minded geeks. That philosophy also calls for the end of the war on poverty, elimination of Federal support for education, and elimination of Federal civil rights protections, also as being contrary to the proper role of the Federal government.
