Ron Paul's ideas are populist and dangerous for the future of the US. There are two things I don't agree on with him:
1. His stance on religion. He's hardcore Christian and he wants to take us back hundreds of years. The Founding Fathers were more enlightened than him when it came to religion.
2. Limiting the influence of the US around the world. That is the first step towards decline and it shouldn't be taken. Most of the people I hear have this utopian vision that somehow we should all love one another and hold hands and have world peace. Things just don't work that way. The only thing commanding respect is brute force which the US has. Yes, the US is the big bully and it's natural for them to intimidate, scare, coerce, etc, in order to pursue their own interests.
If you believe otherwise, how do you think Russia or China would act if they would have been the only superpower ? You think they would have decided to stay at home and not wield their power to obtain what they want ? Think again, out there it's every man for himself and consider yourself lucky you are on the side that's winning...for now
