Ron Paul is an isolationist libertarian.

The war in Iraq is not a battle he would fight. He would have us pull back to within our borders and fight the terrorists when they come to us, and possibly perform limited strikes against them if they were clearly an imminent threat.

As a libertarian, he's definitely fiscally conservative. He would simply gut the government. I support that to a great extent, but I cannot support his isolationism, and I think that he would be a horrible President for our country right now.

We cannot afford to retreat from the war on terror. Hiding at home will not make us safer.

An accurate and precise characterization.

I believe the exact same thing.
