Problem is, most of you n00bs DON’T think. You regurgitate whatever someone else has posted, kinda like the anti-Paul talking point of the day. In the day when the Clowntoons were still in the [dingy] White House, Dr. Paul was widely admired by many of his current detractors. But now that a Pubbie has sullied the premises and totally dissed the Conservatives and the Constitution, we have the anti-Paul crowd baying at the moon. Why? Who knows. But it’s as if they’re afraid that someone will take Dr. Paul and his vision of a LIMITED-GOVERNMENT, CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC seriously and we will have what it was the Founders gave us so long ago. To the big government, warfare/welfare state “conservatives,” nothing is scarier than freedom... because with freedom comes the responsibility of taking care of yourself... without big government to hold your hand and care for you from cradle to grave... and besides, FREEDOM means they won’t be able to control the lives of others anymore, as both they and the libs are so desirous of doing all the time.
Ron Paul’s vision is of an America that is defenseless against islamists who want to kill us or make us their slaves. Sharia is not the freedom the founding fathers had in mind.
Radical, theocratic, fascist Islam is a threat to the whole world which must be destroyed. But not by the US Military, at the expense of trillions of dollars, decades of fighting (as some say it will take, as if we are going to kill every Muslim on every continent...) what could be hundreds of thousands of American lives both citizens and soldiers, and at the cost of our very freedoms and nation which they want to protect.
But this is not a job for the US military, it is a job for Crusading armies, and I don’t see any of these posters signing up for the IDF or for these new Crusades.
Radical islam has been a scourge since, well... forever. And it will likely be that way forever. Our goal should be minimizing its impact on us, not involving ourselves in ANY foreign affairs if we can, and absolutely crushing groups and countries that actually sponsor terrorism (the Saudis for starters!).
People are afraid of radical Islam because 9-11 was the first time it hit home with any severity (WTC 1993 wasn’t to big of a deal, and we were in our fat, dumb and happy stage). They are willing to do anything to get rid of it without fully understanding it. We will never get rid of it without killing millions of muslims on almost every continent. It is not the job of the US military to do this. They are willing to become what England has become when they tried to defeat the fascists and the socialists in WWII... socialist. The most watched country in the world as far as security cameras and domestic spying. Totally disarmed by their government.
No thanks, I don’t want to end America in the process of “defeating” radical Islam.
That’s why these “conservatives” are now rabid Paul haters and worst of all, warmongers. They are willing to sacrifice our liberties, our prosperity, and our nations security (we will become less safe by attacking Iran) to “destroy radical Islam”, something that can’t be done by the US military.
