I'm not rooting for him in 2012, because of his stance on the "war" on terror, but that is interesting.

Glad to hear it. Now can he articulate as to why he "believes in it"?

He's not a neoconservative, but certainly holds liberal, internationalist views on Foreign Policy (which is a non-starter for a lot of grassroots activists).

I don't know that much about him, but I was blown away by his speech at SRLC. He is an amazing speaker and is very charismatic. Isn't he a neocon though?

Our highest national priority

A strong military – Defense spending should be used more effectively, but never cut below 4% of GDP.

The fight against Islamic Fascism is global. Fight it wherever it is a threat to the United States of America. Let our intelligence agencies do their jobs.

Sounds like a neoconservative.

What is it with these Tea Party guys and "gold standard"?

Do they know anything about monetary policy?

He doesn't talk about the "war on terror" in either of those videos.

IF one "believes" in the gold standard then they CAN'T believe in perpetuating an interventionist foreign policy.

Why? Because the gold standard is supposed to RESTRAIN government by PREVENTING runaway spending.

That's why the founders never intended for us to be in perpetual warfare that would continue to cost more and more.
They expected us to 1) declare war if we ever needed to and 2) GET IN and GET OUT.

The only way you can have perpetual warfare is by being on a fiat money standard and OFF of a money with real backing.
That is why the founders implanted into the Constitution a set of simple instructions when dealing with money.
