Not sure about Ron Paul—but he wants to eliminate the Federal Reserve and the IRS, put us back on the gold standard, end the war on drugs, the war on terror and that’s just for starters.
I think he’s all about individual responsibility and limited government—but I think he was against the Patriot Act and some things that make sense for national security.
I like most of the things above, but I just wonder how Ron Paul or a candidate like him deals with a network like Al Qaeda and its spin offs? How he would deal with cyber attacks from China, Russia and hackers? If he calls off the war on terror and the war on drugs—what does that look like? Does it mean drugs are made legal? Does it mean we pull up stakes in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and whatever becomes of them is their problem?

yep. not only in those places, but in his speech he seemed to be arguing that all 700 US military bases around the world are a waste of our resources.
