How you view Ron Paul may say more about yourself than what you think of Ron Paul. For decades, Ron Paul has been a strict constitutionlist who believes that if the rights of the federal government are not stated, then it is left up to the states to decide. People think Ron Paul is radical, but he is simply following the Constitution. In a way he is radical because the founding of this country and giving us all of these freedoms was a radical idea from the tyranny that preceded. These days, our rights have been stripped away so much that the ideas that our founding fathers had have become radical again.
