And that’s just one reason out of many.
That is one of the most ill-informed conclusions I have ever read. Ron Paul does not view it as the Federal Governement's place to dictate either morality or control personal behavior. I agree with this view. I am adamantly opposed to homosexuality, but I don't think it is the place of a Federal Government to say such. At the state level - Great, I'm all for it.
True Constitutional Conservatism, to me, is largely libertarian: less government, more freedoms. I tend to agree with Paul in this philosophy. I don't believe Paul wants to legalize drugs or prostitution or immoral behavior for the sake of allowing them to proliferate within our society. He wants the government the hell out of these decisions, thereby allowing states, communities and families to determine the correct course of action for themselves. What is wrong with that?
I am hanging out in Newt's corner, for now. I feel that Ron Paul has the best chance of resolving our fiscal nightmare. I also tend to grow a bit more libertarian (or Constitutionally Conservative) as I grow older. To me, Constitutional Conservatism is, by nature, largely Libertarian. Perhaps we all need to remember that.
Really?
He voted to allow homosexuals to openly serve in the uniform.
He also said that heterosexuals cause more problems than homosexuals.
YOU are uninformed.
“I don’t believe Paul wants to legalize drugs or prostitution or immoral behavior for the sake of allowing them to proliferate within our society.”
Maybe not, but the results would be the same. The US would turn into Amsterdam.
Conservatism is not libertarianism.
Are you not aware of the fact that RPaul was one of the 5 Repub Congressmen to vote for the repeal of DADT? He’s been quoted directly of saying he’s perfectly happy with homosexuals in the military. That is using federal power to enforce the homosexual agenda, contrary to what you said above.
How are you RPaul voting for homosexuals in the military? Even though the majority of men and women serving, as well as military experts, do not want homosexuals serving?
