Ok, let's start from scratch again.
Ron Paul is for massive privatization. Health care. Education. Safety? Military. There's a lot in the news recently about blackwater and the privatization of the military and the possible implications about circumventing the constitution when it comes to going to war. The fact that there are more blackwater "employees" in Iraq than US soldiers is rather scary.
I live in an area where people have never met a Republican. They can't understand how it's ok for the executive branch to hire private military contractors without having them be subject to Army regulations, the Geneva convention, etc. I'm starting to agree. So, Ron Paul would fix this with a non-interventionist policy. Got it. Kinda...
Then, I read that he voted against denouncing Mugabe's humanitarian atrocities? I understand not intervening, but what does a denouncing cost? Time?
He seems to uphold that we are what we are because of our own ingenuity and not necessarily the sacrifice of other nations' resources. This doesn't jive to well with me. Help me understand.
