And you must be a lazy blowhard, who prefers to prove his ignorance over doing a simple websearch.

Let me guess...you're too young to remember that Dr. Paul's positions are the classic Republican ones, and too "lazy" to look that up yourself, eh?

How about some fun "trivia"...what party was conservative Senator Robert Taft, the leading proponent of the views held by Dr. Paul's (pro-American, non-interventionism)? Here's a hint..."Mr. Republican" was his nickname.

Before throwing stones and attacking a good fellow FReeper, perhaps you ought to drag your ignorant progressive RINO (definitely not conservative Republican if you oppose the classic Republican policy of non-interventionism and push to "progress" to blowing lots of taxpayer money on overseas adventures) butt to a library or here.

That being said, I do accept that the Republican party has gotten rather liberal and it is now acceptable to be an interventionist in the new, progressive Republican Party.

I wonder, though, are you just upset that Dr. Paul was proven right in expressing his concern about giving so much military hardware and technology to Egypt?

From your link here:
Although Taft fully supported the American war effort after Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war on Japan by the U.S. congress on December 8, 1941

That represents a HUGE difference between Senator Taft and that pos truther, Paul!

I oppose foreign aid to Israel and the Islamic word. Robert Taft supported US recognition of Israel before and after 1947 and supported foreign aid for Israel. Those claiming to be Taft supporter are woefully ignorant of Taft’s positions.

Actually, the Jeffersonian Republicanism of the 1930's wasn't classical Republicanism either. Classical Republicanism was the nineteenth century Puritan heritage of the Federalist, Anti-Masonic, Whig, and Know Nothing parties: loose construction, implied powers, opposition to Jacobinism, a private central bank (take that, Mr. Paul!), a strong industrial base (making for industrial independence), protective tariffs, and public morality (blue laws and laws against liquor). That, my friend, and not Jacobinical Jeffersonianism, is Classic Republicanism!
