Well, I think Ron Paul is like most others. Everybody has something against just about anybody. None of us agrees entirely with anyone else. I guess we just have to pick what's most important and find those who are in agreement. The problem I have with some of what I see on FR and elsewhere is the demand for somebody to be doctrinally "pure" on all counts or "we'll never vote for him." (I personally think Paul is koo-koo on foreign policy but sharp on our need for a free market economy.)

I'm not sure what "conservative" means anymore or what "conservatives" stand for. I used to think it was freedom but these days I'm not so sure. Maybe you can't pigeonhole "conservative" either, but there does seem to be some sort of party line. Anyway, I'm a lover of individual freedom and believe that's what America is all about. I think the immigration thing is a distraction from the biggest issue of our time: big government. Cut big government and keep cutting until once again the Constitution is in view, and all the augments against immigration melt away. Otherwise, it looks like acquiescence to Socialism.
