I’m old enough to remember when conservatives opposed foreign aid.

They still do. This new lot is not conservative. Never have been and their stripes are showing. From funding the 40 year old space bus (NASA) to throwing tax dollars around the world to Every Child Left Behind, their pitiful understanding of conservatism is about as strong as 1st grader's understanding of physics

Dr. Paul as usual is right on this issue as well. But instead of providing the Constitutional basis for wasting my tax dollars here and around the world, they'd rather call names

I totally agree with you. Also, as to the name-calling, they are employing tactics straight from Alinsky’s (and his disciple Hillary Clinton’s) playbook Rules for Radicals:

I would expect no better from Michael Medved, who is mentioned by one of the commenters above and who attended Yale and ran in the same circles as the Clintons. He is no conservative in my opinion.
