I used to like Ron Paul. Unfortunately, he picked the wrong issue to ride to (personal) victory.
Me too...
Actually, I think he’s the kind of individual useful only as one voice in a room full of voices. I like him in the people House, just not in the White House.
He’s just too myopic and dangerously isolationist. I too love the founders and the work they did in 1776.
But most of what we deal with today did not exist in 1776. On one hand, our nation MUST be protected and preserved by real reverence for our founding documents and our fundamental beliefs.
But to suggest that our nation can be protected and preserved against outside threats by way of 1776 technologies and understandings is suicide.
The founding documents are the tool to be used to protect this nation from enemies within.
But our very advanced military and intelligence operations exist to protect and preserve our way of life, against outside enemies and we have plenty of those and always have.
And his crazed supporters love him for it.
