The man is the only Constitutionalist in Congress and has to date lived up to his promise that he would “never vote for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution” and still a majority of Freepers consider him crazy. Just goes to show how far the “Conservative Right” has moved towards the center.

Agreed.
I’m guessing Ron Paul was/is anti-war, not because he is a wimp, but because like the Federal Reserve itself, the war’s main purpose, like all the pork and wasteful spending, is to drain our treasury.
Towards the center?
Nah...more like towards the left.
Just look at the most recent Republican administration, the first to face a throughly Republican-controlled Congress since Coolidge.
Except, unlike Coolidge, who actually reduced the size of the Federal government and its debt and spending, the most recent Republican administration engaged in "compassionate conservatism" and outspent all its predecessors.
The fact of the matter is that...
No Republican since Coolidge has ever reduced the size of the Federal government and its spending and debt.
Reagan tried but faced a barely Republican-controlled Senate and a Democrat-controlled House.
And unless we find another Coolidge or another Reagan and pair him/her with throughly libertarian conservatives, and quickly, then we're screwed.
