What positions does Ron Paul have that aren’t conservative?

I keep hearing that being pro Iraq war is the “conservative” position. Is that what you mean?

Does anyone remember what Bob Dole said in the VP Debate in 1976 regarding Democrats and Wars?

(I know that was a controversial statement at the time, but I mention it because it can help to gain insight as to the history of the relationship between Conservatism and War.

traditionally conservatives are much more isolationist. There is nothing conservative about extensive global entanglements.
Nowadays, the republican party sounds like Woodrow Wilson when it comes to foreign policy.

I don’t know what Dole said, don’t much care, but here is the only thing you’ll need to see on the matter of “Conservatism and War”.
