And that is why Ron Paul will never be President of the USA. It is amazing why someone would even want to be the leader of "a force for evil." I can tell you something about Ron Paul's congressional district too: If they knew that he believed this, he wouldn't be in congress either.
For crying out loud! He's worse that Michell Obama. At least she's proud of America now. If I lived just a little further south, I'd be voting Democrat for the first time in my life, at least for congressman.
Ron Paul doesn't believe America is "a force for evil". He simply doesn't believe we should have an interventionist foreign policy, which is in line with the Constitution. Ron Paul's district knows what he believes and why, unlike Freepers here who spread false statements about his beliefs and cast him in a bad light.
Government, ultimately is force, and that force is exerted by people with firearms and other tools of warfare.
The founders wrote limitations into the Constitution on the extent of that power, and their writings make it apparent that those limitations were not to be merely internal, but should apply to the way that power is used outside our borders as well.
So whether that force is good or evil only depends on how it is used.
So look at the acts of our Government, especially under the Clintons, and tell me our government has not been a 'force for evil', ever. Why would Dubya have wanted to be the President of a country which used Federal Law Enforcement to shoot mothers holding babies, burn church groups to death, and send children off to Communist regimes, just to name a few things?
To change it.
Will Ron Paul ever be president? Very doubtful, but the idea of dissenting voices, especially ones which are grounded in the Constitution, is something valuable as well.
Unfortunately, for most of the folks here at home who accept daily the comfortable chains of petty tyranny, freedom is a relative thing and not a well-understood concept.
