The Republicans aren't conservative any more.

But Ron Paul is more akin to Classical liberalism than Conservatism.
His only traditionally "conservative" stance is on abortion which he backs up with non-religious rationale.


The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
