Well, I’m not arguing that Ron Paul’s positions on all issues are the positions that most freepers like.
Most freepers want to spend a lot of money fighting in the middle east. Ron Paul doesn’t, and a lot of freepers find Ron Paul unacceptable because of it.
But freepers who think that Ron Paul is doing anything unconservative on fiscal, economic, limited government matters are wrong.
Some freepers can also say that traditionally, the Democrats, the Liberals, have been in favor of more war, more military intervention, and the Republicans, the Conservatives were in favor of thinking twice before getting involved in the internal affairs of another country.
But I know that today, the typical Republican, the typical freeper, does want big government in foreign policy. I know that it’s currently very hard for Ron Paul to get votes from freepers who like big government foreign policy.
There is no “big governemtn foreign policy”. The federal government is charged with protecting the citizens of this country, sometimes that entails killing deadenders in other parts of the world. All eminently constitutional.
