If that is the case then he is most certainly not a constitutionalist. The constitution never has forbade government intervention in any of those things. I do believe the government should be reigned in and its interventions limited but what he suggests while it may seem appealing is just not the reality that has existed since the founding of this country. I would rather he advocate very specific roll backs in government largess rather than going off the deep end with a generalist philosophy that makes assumptions that are not and have never been true.

He recognizes that it's too late to work within the system, and too early to just shoot the bastards (stolen from Claire Wolfe).

You have got it just backwards. If it is not ALLOWED, it is FORBIDDEN to FedGov, much as you and they want it your way. Dr. Paul is far more correct and knowledgeable than your post makes YOU out to be.
