It's the Libertarians who always say that smoking marijuana is harmless.

Why don't you come to the drug threads anymore. It used to be funny watching you get ganged up on.

I love how people who bash Ron Paul tend to be the same people who bitch when people criticize George Bush. "Why are you such a purist? You won't agree with anybody 100% of the time", they say. Why is it that when Paul is wrong on one issue, they find it OK to bash him mercilessly, when at the same time, not one Paul basher has ever been able to give me an example of a domestic issue they disagree with him on.

Would you care to caption this one...

So are we supposed to stay in that Moo craphole forever, getting picked off day by day? If we were serious, we'd be levelling any town that looked at us sideways and make them piss their pants every time they heard an aircraft overhead

And the keyborad commando chimes in.

BTW, nice try at a dodge, that doesn't address ron paul's appeasment towards the terrorists.

He looks way too tall as well. Maybe he juts looks shorter standing next to the Keebler tree.

Paul is "loyal." He is loyal to the dream of an American Republic, rather than an empire. Back when most conservatives, including DeLay, Rush, and Hannity, opposed the Kosovo war *during* the time the war was being waged, they said the same thing. Now these same pro-war conservatives have pushed that memory of "disloyalty" down the Orwellian memory hole.

BTW, how is loyal to the troops to keep them stuck in this hopeless Middle Eastern snake's nest of intrigue?

My old friend Dane. Wonderful to hear from you.

Dane, if I've been hitting the bong too much, you've been overdoing the coffee and mountain dew today. Boy you're surly.

Cheers, AWW

Nice dodge to the questions in my post #37

BTW, how is loyal to the troops to keep them stuck in this hopeless Middle Eastern snake's nest of intrigue?

Given your mindset, we should have never engaged in WWII because of the European hopeless snake's nest of intrigue. We lost far more countrymen back then than now. In our government, no one dared to wring their wrists about the treatment of our sworn enemies.

I am not a Bush fan in every aspect, but I think his vision of fighting terrorism abroad while reforming the Middle East and spreading hope and freedom is brilliant.

You have to admit. The Bush doctrine puts everything into perspective. Either one supports the defeat of terrorism, or one fans a flame to destroy our mission and lose the war. There is no middle ground.... Pick one.

How loyal is to our Republic to abandon it for an empire? Those on this thread who want to see the First Amendment shut down with charges of giving aid and comfort to the enemy are the ones guilty of treasonous acts. Using support for our troops as a ploy to destroy the Republic from with in, does not support the troops. What it does do is encourage the enemies of freedom here at home as well as by terrorists abroad to continue their attack on our freedom. Three cheers for Congressman Ron Paul.
