Well, most of the responses seem to involve eliminating all social, most economic and government programs (regulations, protection agencies, etc), and boosting the military with an eye for extreme isolationism combined with a good old Nazi-style roundup of non-white people and either exporting them out of the country, isolating them into their own US state, or simply committing an old-fashioned racial purification.
That sounds like the opposite of liberal - very much in line with the extreme of extreme right wing without some of the ambiguities (look at the language for 'immigration reform' of the republican party and look at the stances on non-whites and jewish at that white supremecist website. It's far more similar than I would have ever expected.
I am, of course, ignoring the praise for Ron Paul, conservatism, conservatives, and the tea party (and all the links regarding those.) That would make the comparison too easy.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
