Rand Paul called Wednesday for “a saner, more balanced approach to foreign policy” in a speech to the Heritage Foundation aimed at destigmatizing his views on the subject.The libertarian senator from Kentucky, a probable 2016 Republican presidential candidate, presented himself as solidly within the mainstream. He called himself “a realist – not a neoconservative, nor an isolationist.”
On what would have been Ronald Reagan’s 102nd birthday, he explained that the 40th president’s foreign policy is “much closer to what I am advocating than what we have today.”“Reagan’s foreign policy was robust but also restrained,” said Paul. “He pulled no punches in telling Mr. Gorbachev to ‘tear down that wall.’ He did not shy away from labeling the Soviet Union as an evil empire. But he also sat down with Gorbachev and negotiated meaningful reductions in nuclear weapons.”http://www.politico.com/story/2013/02/rand-paul-likens-policies-to-ronald-reagans-87258.html
This is great! Libertarians shall have someone to rally behind! He shall be sensible and not over-come with ideological baggage and will look back at the Gipper as a great role model! YES!
Keep the faith fellow freedom loving Libertarians! Obama can only be in the White House for like another 3 1/2 years. Assuredly someday our time will come! Even now we can begin laying the ground work to win one for Rand... and win another one for Gipper!! Rand Paul President 2016!!
