It’s sad that conservatism has sunk to the point that it’s not recognizable.
Ron Paul’s views are right down the line conservative...or what conservative *was*...before people began twisting it into “big government is fine, as long as it forces people to do what *I* want” and “cut spending except for things like making other countries take some responsibility for their own defense.” Of course, a “new-fangled conservative” is an oxymoron. A better term is “Lib.”
Admittedly, Ron Paul is not isolationist enough to be a true conservative in the classic American sense (not to be confused with a classical conservative!) But he’s non-interventionist, at least.
