“The President has no war power, only the Congress has that. When one person can initiate war, by its definition, a republic no longer exists.” Ron Paul, Speech to Congress, March 9, 1999
So why do so many of us love Ron Paul and believe he should be the next President of the United States? Why do we barely hear his name in the mass media? Read on and find out yourself.
Ron Paul is an advocate of:
- States’ rights
- Free trade
- Fewer taxes (typical Conservative ideal)
- Smaller government (good bye to George Bush’s police state)
- Strong national sovereignty
- Non-interventionism
Non-interventionism defined: Nonintervention is a foreign policy which holds that political rulers should avoid alliances with other nations and avoid all wars not related to direct territorial self-defense. A similar phrase is “strategic independence”.
In other words, leave others alone and you’ll be left alone.
Don’t let the Neo-Cons’ give you a bad image of the Republicans
He has called for the abolition of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the federal income tax. He also voted against the USA PATRIOT Act, the Iraq War Resolution, and the Military Commissions Act of 2006.
According to Ron Paul, the Republican party has lost its way. True Conservatism isn’t about fighting in an unpopular war, a struggling economy at home, and international hatred as a result of foreign policies.
