It's a bit sad, but American's really don't care about the wars we wage as long as they aren't on our own soil. This is why so many people support the "war on terror" without actually looking into how effective this war is and if it can even be won.
As far as Ron Paul being an isolationist, Old Stoner, you seem certain that Ron Paul has called himself that, or supported that ideology but I am going to call you out and ask you to present some type of evidence. I am certain you are just mistaking non-interventionalist with isolationist, these are not at all the same so please don't confuse the two. I have done enough research into Ron Paul to be completely confident to believe that he never said such a thing, but if you want to prove me wrong I would love for you to do so.
The main reason I like Ron Paul is he is the only candidate that truly understands the situation our economy is in and has a solution to save it before it is too late. He also is a strong defender of our constitution, he is not anti-war as some say, he has said many times if it is necessary congress should declare war as allowed in the constitution. However, going to war because the UN wants us to, or without a declaration of war should be protested by all Americans, there is a reason why the constitution requires a declaration of war!
