The Fed and he would dramatically expand our personal liberty.

You are correct here, but I do not want a protectionist. Initially, he is against most of our foreign involvement because he cites the lack of a true Declaration of War. And while I would like to see an actual Declaration whenever we get involved with these things, our Congressmen are spineless and always want an out in case their vote for Congressional Authority goes awry.

My biggest problem with Paul is that when you press him further on military involvement, he desires America to be neutral. Our largest adversaries would like nothing more than America to become totally neutral.

I don’t think being a protectionist is the issue or what Ron Paul believes...I think he believes what our founders believed.

Friend to all enemy to none. Now that doesn’t mean we cower and back-away from a conflict it means if you become our enemy we will eliminate you with extreme prejudice but we want all to want to do trade with us, etc.

We went off the rails when the first de-facto progressive Teddy Roosevelt decided we needed to nation build and start installing our own puppets under the guise of democracy in foreign countries all under the umbrella that we need to protect our “interests”.

You know what...it has been a 100 year experiement that has failed 100% of the time we have done it. Now the world hates us because of these progressive ideas and when you really look at nation building it is just another form of redistributing the wealth.

How is it fair that we take our hard-earned money and just give it to foreign countries to build them?

We need our own independence in energy, manufacturing, etc...this entire new world order BS is going to destroy us.

We need radical change in the next administration - back to our roots, back to our Constitution, back to our founder’s vision and a Ronald Reagan type isn’t going to cut it. Calvin Coolidge at a minimum is what we need now and maybe even a George Washington.

We better all decide to get bold before 2012 because voting for a party isn’t going to save us. :)
