The issues involve conservatism as well as the Constitution, and our Founding Fathers established a government which must protect its borders from enemy invasion.
You can talk Free Market all you want, but if we don’t protect our borders, this country will continue to deal with the illegal immigration and enemy infiltration problem as we know it.
Dr. Paul is right on a number of economic issues, but it’s not one or the other. It’s not the “economy” or “security”.
You don’t wish to discuss foreign policy or national security, but until you recognize that these issues are just as important as states right and the US economy to us FReepers, you may as well talk to the mirror.
We don’t live in a vacuum, and the US has enemies. Liberty must protect itself from those who seek to destroy us. The economy, the Free Market, and states rights won’t matter once our national security has been completely compromised.
Dr. Paul is for sealing up our borders meaning NO illegals and NO terrorists sneaking in.

Yes and I just said it: the best way to secure America is by doing exactly what Dr. Paul proposed.
Dr. Paul may seem anti-Israel but think about this: he's also for ending all aid to the Arabs as well. Meaning NO more aid to Saudis who are the biggest funders of terrorism and NO money to the corrupt so-called "Palestinian" authority. I also think Israel would do a lot more for its security and would finalize its defensive borders if it didn't have America always hanging over its shoulder.

The Free Market DOES matter more then anything. If we are secure from terrorists then great but would THAT matter if we are slaves to the gov. and live under an economy like the USSR? Show me another candidate whos for ending the FED and reviving gold.
Ron Paul is good / conservative on border issues. The problem people have here with him is mostly related to the middle east.
