He separated himself from the views of GOP moderates, but also distanced himself from the tendencies of the GOP's small non-interventionist wing.  <\/p><p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dG55xy4-d5I&amp;feature=related\">YouTube interview<\/a> released June 19:<\/p><blockquote><p>From time immemorial I have been a libertarian, deeply free market activist, a Milton Friedman follower, a Frederich Hayek follower.  Someone who believes in the free market.  And this is all from my Polish upbringing.  My father was a small businessman.  I learned early on of the importance of the free market, not taxing people to death as they aspire to get higher in society.<\/p><p>I have a very critical stance on people like McCain, Lindsay Graham, particularly on their stance on illegal immigration.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>On foreign policy:<\/p><blockquote><p>Ron Paul does not seem to understand the need for America to play a leading role on the international stage.  He never says it, but what he really wants to do is draw us back to our borders.<\/p><p>I admire Ron Paul for a lot of reasons.  His critique of the Fed for instance, very well taken... Austrian economics.  I've got a lot of good things to say about him.  But I would not follow him off the edge of the cliff on foreign policy.\"views.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Michael Stopa is a Physicist specializing in computation and nanoscience in the Physics Department at Harvard University.  He describes himself as one of the only, if not the only \"fiscal conservative\" professors at Harvard.  <\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stopforusrep.com\">http:\/\/www.stopforusrep.com<\/a><\/p><div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/07e2e_7828681836623105417-2294375742453021158?l=www.libertarianrepublican.net\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Milton Friedman, Frederich Hayek followerMike Stopa candidate for US Congress, 3rd District in Massachusetts declared himself a \"libertarian\" in a radio interview rebroadcast on YouTube in June.
