Ron Paul wins straw poll at CPAC conference.

Glenn Beck made a good speech there as well. He was discussing history, the Constitution and what was intended by the founding fathere.

Dr. Paul is spot on in my opinion. His views are different from other conservatives because he is "conservative" about getting troops involved in foreign conflicts. To me, a conservative foreign policy is one where we maintain our power, militarily, but do not go around the world threatening, invading or lecturing other nations. Iran is a case in point. Our condescending attitude only makes them more belligerant. It is a matter of national pride for them.

We should work with the Russians and others to reduce nuclear stockpiles. Lead by example. Also, and I've said it before, Israel has quite the nuclear deterrent.
