Where on earth did you come up with THAT quaint notion, that Ron Paul is an isolationist? What he IS is a NON-INTERVENTIONIST. Which is a horse of a whole ‘nother color. We elect a President to be the Chief Executive of and FOR the United States, not president of the world. Major difference there. Our President has NO legitimate authority to send troops anywhere except in response to direct attacks on THE UNITED STATES. None whatsoever. However, in responding to direct attacks, the President should (and RP would) use whatever massive strength were needed to permanently eliminate the threat and the attackers. He would have played to WIN and then come home, not maintain a presence somewhere for decades to come.
As another believer in the Just War theory, I can only commend Dr. Paul for his CONSTITUTIONAL stance. As one who has seen what we’ve been doing firsthand, I must commend him for wanting to bring our troops HOME to defend OUR borders, something no OTHER President (or former candidate) seems to have any interest in doing.
And CURRENTLY, with the Usurper-in-Chief we have now, I do have to question HIS motives for keeping our troops OUT OF THE COUNTRY at a time when they might be needed to put down an executive branch run amok.
So anyway you slice it, you are wrong, and wrong in this case can mean DEAD wrong.
Isolationist Non-interventionist get real they are exactly the same thing.
Slice it any way you want. On some things the man is a lunatic. Now the fact that he is really a libertarian running as a republican may explain most of that. but he is no means conservative
