Contemporary American conservatism does not advocate returning to a gold standard and allowing private institutions to issue their own currencies. Nor does it necessarily support abolishing all gun control measures...including restrictions assault weapons and concealed weapon laws. Nor does it necessarily mean supporting an all out ban on embryonic stem cell research...Ron Paul is more of a hodgepodge of Libertarian ideas and hardcore right wing conservatism than anything else.
If anything, I tend to lean right on everything except a handful of social issues...and I hardly believe that rejecting Ron Paul & some of his kookier stances is tantamount to a wholesale rejection of conservatism.
