You understand that it is because of the "status quo" we are in this mess of $15 trillion in debt right? The consequenses of 100 years of progressivism on both sides have led to many of our debts. The SS and medicare were set up and now are going to bury us with debt. The military interventionism of the past 60 years has left us with tremendous debt. The welfare system, massive debt. Both sides playing progressive type politics is drowning our country in debt and has been setting up laws and regulations that are not part of our constitution. A cause of gas prices being so high today and the weakening of our dollar. We are not limited when we stay within our own boarders. We actually stregthen the military by consolidating them in the states, ensuring our own defence. You mean he wants to abolish the laws that were orgionally established due to racism and propoganda? NO!! Just like gun restrictions, criminals don't care, but will find a way to profit off these prohibitions and beable to subvert the good order of society. Heroin is actually less of an adictive pain killer than morphene in its pure state. Yeah, who needs that founding document that set up the greatest nation in the world, it is outdated. Lets...instead of amending it through the actual legal process, created end arounds and load the system up with costly bureaucraciesand regulations. I see how the constitution would be a downer for some. No body can argue with what he has to say. He hasn't retracted anything, and he uses actual measurable facts. He knows what he is talking about, he has been doing it for a long time. As far as "theory vs practice", his "theory" is opposite from what is failing practices of the current DC establishment. You have proof of this? Why not? The practice'rs aren't working. You say he needs to be tough, but must also bend to the will of the populace? Here, I will give you an example. We currently have a POTUS that is extreemly weak, and doesn't bend to the will of the populous, so how can you say Ron Paul being opposite of everything Obama has done is actually like him?
How about following our UN treaty obligations which prohibit any military or paramilitary interventionism in the sovereign affairs of other nations without the express consent of a UN Security Council resolution?
