Kookiness is not from being wrong. Kookiness comes from having ideas that are further out there than your ability to communicate them. And because of Ron Paul's kookiness, he couldn't be taken seriously.
and it's not "empire" that is the crux of conservatism. It's "safety first" - however that might get misconstrued.
