[QUOTE="sanjuro893, post: 1683668, member: 4491"] I usually avoid conversations about Ron Paul because it turns into a heated argument, but with his gains in the polls, I'd like somebody to address a question. (Bear with me) I would sleep well at night with Ron Paul's domestic policies. Nobody would come for my guns, my privacy, or force me to sign on with government health care. That being said, I think his foreign policy is ridiculously naive. Whether you like it or not, we have resources and assets that MUST be protected overseas in foreign countries and Americans who work there who likewise must be protected. We have not been a self sufficient nation since the early 1800's and probably never will be again. If we just pulled out and left all of these places as Ron Paul would have us do, there would would be no North Korea and South Korea, no Nicaragua, El Salvador, or Grenada if not for our "interference". Just a bunch of countries that belong to the Soviet Union and millions of dead Koreans and Latin Americans. I want to ask the supporters of Ron Paul (and Paul himself, actually) what he thinks about the Monroe Doctrine. This was a document written to protect the interests and rights of the U.S. and it's citizens from European colonization in South America. It is in my opinion very necessary especially in this day and age. Instead of just "minding our own business" which seems to be his all-encompassing position on foreign policy, why won't he support a policy that stops foreign powers from interfering with our interests and our citizens who live and work overseas? His website claims "America First" but I think NOT interfering with some of these conflicts in other nations would only ensure that we get attacked by a major foreign power. In the 1800's it was colonization from Europe. During the Cold War it was the Soviets. If we just back down from every where all at once, who knows who'll come knocking on our back door? China maybe?
