He wants to pull out of the UN (//vny!://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:H.R.1146:), disband NATO (//vny!://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2004/cr033004.htm), end birthright citizenship (//vny!://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:H.J.RES.46:), deny federal funding to any organisation which "which presents male or female homosexuality as an acceptable alternative life style or which suggest that it can be an acceptable life style" along with destroying public education and social security (//vny!://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d096:h.r.7955:), and abolish the Federal Reserve (//vny!://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:H.R.2755:) in order to put America back on the gold standard (//vny!://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2006/cr021506.htm).
He was also the sole vote against divesting US federal government investments in corporations doing business with the genocidal government of the Sudan. (//vny!://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2007-764)
Oh, and he believes that the Left is waging a war on religion and Christmas (//vny!://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul148.html), he's against gay marriage (//vny!://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul197.html), is against the popular vote (//vny!://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul214.html), opposes the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (//vny!://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul188.html), wants the estate tax repealed (//vny!://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul328.html), is STILL making racist remarks (//vny!://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/06/02/ron_paul/), believes that the Panama Canal should be the property of the United States (//vny!://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d106:h.con.res.231:).
