It was definitely in the vein. I forget the actual doc I'm thinking of, but there were so many in the early 2000's that I can't even recall half of them.
But yes, Ron Paul was a savior, the government was the devil, the police state was hated, but still support the police, and by God everything had to be by the book of the Constitution.
I think that part of the party is dead now. It just doesn't exist. The new right doesn't seem to care about the Constitution at all, and would be happy to change it to fit the needs of the day - and it really does depend on what day it is.
Neither party cares about the Constitution or limited power in the Executive branch. Expect when they wanna twist it to support what they wanna do. Been the case for decades. I'm some ways it's always been the case. The more I learn about the history of US politics the more clear that becomes. The original ideas of the signers have long been abandoned. You can pick different points. The big one is Lincoln. Massive Centralization of power during the war years. The world wars are another as is 911. We never really reduce the power of the executive.
