It is not altogether baffling. Ron Paul appeals to people who would like for the government, especially the federal government, to stay out of their business. I think people need to be responsible for their own behavior and the consequences thereof. I think family and church are the foundations of moral decision-making.

Good definition of conservatism and founding principles. That is why Ron Paul bashers can't put together any coherent objections, just spewing lies and hatred.

Perhaps it is better to say that many of the anarchist radicals all for Ron Paul are only ‘conservative’ when it comes to their libertarian immoral lifestyles. An absolute libertarianism is an impossible political/religious position in a broken down, immoral world full of vices. Many of the reasons why we do indeed have a huge government these days is precisely because so many people have abused their liberties which the American Constitution originally gave them.
