Silly? All I heard in Ron Paul’s response was that he wanted to adhere to the constitution. Not going to war without a constitutional declaration.
Sounds like constitutional conservatism to me.
When did it get to be “conservative” to waste billions blowing up things in the middle east, only to spend billions building roads and schools over there, when the roads are crumbling over here. We are out of money.
If we want security, pull troops out of Iraq and put them on the border with Mexico. The people invading from the south believe they own the land. Get the heck out of the middle east and every where else and take care of what is happening at home.
