I could embrace that as long as they don’t abandon the social platforms foundational to conservatism (God & family). Which means NOT abandoning of the drug war, taking on the homofascists (no gay marriage) and allowing God back in the public square. Not only would Ron Paul turn his back on these, but his isolationist foreign policy would be a boon to Global Islamic extremism.
Well in terms of values, Ron Paul is a social conservative, or he does share their values. But he doesn’t believe in making everything a federal government issue. Back in the day, 150 years ago, 200 years ago, we had a very very small federal goverment. There were no federal laws against drugs, but drugs weren’t much of a social problem. The idea of gay marriage would’ve been considered insane. And God was all over the public square. Ron Paul is not a liberal. And he does have liberal supporters who probably wouldn’t agree with what Ron Paul has said about the establishment clause.
Freepers would absolutely love Ron Paul’s Supreme Court picks.
