Paul is branding his libertarian-leaning foreign policy as what the founders would have wanted. “It is time for all Americans, and especially conservatives, to become as critical and reflective when examining foreign policy as we are with domestic policy.”

here this racist SOB shows his true colors, how do you start with an all inclusive then jump to especially one group what is that half azz separatism?
Paul has positioned himself as suspicious of neo-conservatism in the past, but this speech was possibly the most explicitly anti-neocon address of his career, outlining a libertarian-leaning but not isolationist view of the world and the nation's place in it.
"I see the world as it is," Paul said at the beginning of his speech. "I am a realist, not a neoconservative, nor an isolationist." He spoke to a small auditorium of Heritage and Capitol Hill staffers, college students, and repo
"In a recent Senate resolution, the bipartisan consensus stated that we will never contain Iran should they get a nuclear weapon. In the debate, I made the point that while I think it unwise to declare that we will contain a nuclear Iran, I think it equally unwise to say we will never contain a nuclear Iran. War should never be our only option."
Paul argued that the current situation of the U.S. in relation to Islamic fundamentalism is analogous to our relationship with the Soviets during the Cold War, and seemed to take Ronald Reagan's foreign policy as inspiration.
"Everybody now loves Ronald Reagan," Paul said. "Even President Obama tries to toady up and vainly try to resemble some Reaganism. Reagan's foreign policy was robust but also restrained. He pulled no punches in telling Mr. Gorbachev to 'tear down that wall.' He did not shy from labeling the Soviet Union an evil empire. But he also sat down with Gorbachev and negotiated meaningful reductions in nuclear weapons."they just can't give Pres. credit for who he is always trying to compare him to some dead white guy who lived at a different time under much different circumstances and none were as accomplished in their jobs then he is in one term, he's Black not a republican, he has not misled no matter how much they try to bring him down to their level no comparison. enough to realize he's not Reagan.
did he get the memo, not suppose to speak of the "great compromiser, the great tax hiker, and the great fantasy tale spinner, "TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS"?
