Ron Paul is essentially analogous to a Christian or Muslim fundamentalist... swap religion for civil religion and the Bible/Koran for the Constitution. Essentially, all the nation's problems can be solved by returning to the "fundamentals" of the Constitution.
I'm not sure Paul has an entirely accurate view of what the Constitution even is. For example, he's said the federal income tax is unconstitutional, blindly ignoring the fact that it's provided for by the 16th Amendment of the Constitution. NAFTA, GATT, membership in the UN are also unconstitutional according to him, yet these are provided for by Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. I could go on and on...
