In Iowa Friday, Ron Paul pushed back on comments from running mates like Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum that his foreign policy would be dangerous for America, reports the Des Moines Register. At a campaign event, Paul joked to the crowd: ““I will be talking a lot about personal liberty and our Constitution, but I will warn you, it’s been described as a ‘very dangerous’ philosophy.”

More seriously, Paul said: “There is nobody that even comes close to thinking about touching us…We have the weaponry. We have the troops. We can defend our country.”
