“In this globally connected world, if he thinks that we aren’t threatened by what happens in other countries, he’s delusional.”
I really find this theme that “if you don’t agree with X, you’re delusional” to be tiresome.
I don’t happen to agree with RP on foreign policy. But the problem is it doesn’t matter. Because the underlying problem is that we can’t afford an activist foreign policy right now any more than we can afford to continue with endless Wall Street bailouts or to fund a bloated welfare state. We just don’t have the money.

Did I say we could afford it? NO.
In fact, I agree with your above statement.
However, Ron Paul would have us to be isolationists, with our military confined to our borders.
I don’t happen to agree with that.
