#1 Hmmm. A nonbinding resolution approved by the U.S. House urging EU leaders to maintain the arms embargo passed by a fairly lop-sided 411-3. I wonder who the 3 Nays were?

#7 Ron Paul - Where libertarianism meets Maoism, and why the real libertarians are holding their noses and voting Republican these days.

#8 Ron Paul from the lefty Maoist fringe of the Libertarian party. He is really a RINO. He couldn't get elected as a Libertarian, hence the GOP party label on him. From Texas no less.

#9 I do have some respect for Ron Paul. He routinely votes against pork projects, including in his own district. Not many can claim the latter.

His foreign policy has some precedents, including Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Gerald Nye. I'm not saying he right on this, just that the Jeffersonian strain of foreign policy has a long history in this country. Not everyone opposed to foreign intervention is an anti-American leftist or Islamic fifth-columnist. Most, but not all.
