Ron Paul isn't a conservative. He's a libertarian, and he's an anti-Semitic, Iran-enabling truther who thinks America is responsible for 9/11.
If you're going to post, get it right.
“Ron Paul isn’t a conservative. He’s a libertarian”
Well he may have Libertarian leanings but last I saw he still had an “R” after his name. And espouses conservative fiscal and domestic policies plus he wants us out of all the world police actions we’ve stuck our noses into. I guess he just doesn’t fit your definition of conservative which is:
1. for the war on terror and locking up people without a trail for as long as those in power want and having little old ladies sexually assaulted by TSA at the airport
2. for the war on drugs and allowing the police to seize your property and then making you prove that it wasn’t the result of illegal activity and having SWAT teams blow away marines (there is never an ex-marine ;) ) in Arizona
3. for giving lip service to supporting Israel while pressuring them to give in to terrorists in yet another misguided land for peace deal
4. Declaring most forcefully that they are for “sound fiscal policy” while taking bribes (campaign contributions) from the Wall Street bankers and bailing out insolvent cronies with your money to the tune of a few $ trillion
5. Being the world policeman and fighting meaningless “actions” all across the globe while beating their chest to prove how manly they are
There is a whole range of conservative ideas but you seem to think that only those the fit your narrow definition of conservative can claim that label.
