Ron Paul is a danger to the Republic. Whatever you think of his domestic policies, his foreign policies are dangerous.You know what I think is "dangerous"?
Two Islamic terrorists with AK-47s and IED's slipping over the border with Mexico and driving up to some Day-Care or Kindergarten in middle Texas. I think that's MORE "dangerous" than Two Hundred Islamic Terrorists in Iraq, most of which belong to radically-opposed factions who want to kill eachother.
So, I'm voting for the candidate who believes in REAL BORDER SECURITY rather than the Globalist RINOs who want to try and Referee an Islamic Civil War 7,000 miles away.

"The greatest champion of conservative principles we have seen in Congress in the past quarter century."(David T. Pyne, Esq., Vice President of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies.)
Ron Paul is a danger to the Republic. Whatever you think of his domestic policies, his foreign policies are dangerous. The only threat to our republic are those who ignore the wisdom of the Founding fathers and who interpret the Consititution as a "living document". Isolationism from foreign entanglements was clearly their ideal, an American nation whose commercial strength brought the world to its knees, but who avoided disaster and enemies by removing itself from foreign affairs.
Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations--entangling alliances with none, I deem [one of] the essential principles of our government, and consequently [one of] those which ought to shape its administration." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural Address, 1801. ME 3:321
The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. ... George Washington, Farewell address after presidency.
How many champion Jefferson and the Constitution, but conveniently ignore both when it comes to American foreign policy? Washington similarly urged that the US must "Act for ourselves and not for others," by forming an "American character wholly free of foreign attachments." Since so many on Capitol Hill apparently now believe Washington was wrong, they should at least have the intellectual honesty to admit it next time his name is being celebrated. In fact, when I mentioned Washington the other guest on the show quickly repeated the tired cliche that "We don't live in George Washington's times." Yet if we accept this argument, what other principles from that era should we discard? Should we give up the First amendment because times have changed? How about the rest of the Bill of Rights? It's hypocritical and childish to dismiss certain founding principles simply because a convenient rationale is needed to justify foolish policies today. The principles enshrined in the Constitution do not change. If anything, today's more complex world cries out for the moral clarity provided by a noninterventionist foreign policy...
