Ron Paul is NOT A CONSERVATIVE!!! How many freekin’ times dose this have to be said?!? He is a Libertarian with an occasional conservative leaning. The infiltration of libertarians into what was once conservative enclaves is very problematic and purposefully so.
Exactly, Paul is far more of a LPer than a Conservative, Neo or otherwise, but why is he aligned with the R’s and not the D’s?
What benefit does he derive from sound money policy and an end to all foreign aid, not just to Israel?
As far as I am concerned, Liberatarians are nothing more than confused Liberals.
I have been saying this until I am hoarse for the past year and more, as the problem of the infiltration worsens. I wonder why Republican leadership has not long ago repudiated the Paulitarian movement.
In my view, they are an offshoot of far leftism, whose sole purpose is to dismantle the U.S. military; hence, the constant isolationist bleating. Rand Paul has already taken up the cause of cutting the military, and "Tea Party" darling Michele Bachmann is not far behind.
The Tea Party is the libertarian brainchild to split the Republicans, and a portion of conservatives have fallen for it as a genuinely populist movement, which is not.
