Jeesh! Who could like that stuff, right?

I agree with those who say his stance on whether Islamic Jihadism is an imminent threat is wrong. We need to address this now. I don’t believe that we can negotiate anything with the jihadists. Force is the only answer. I also don’t believe that we wait until they reach our shores (they already have). I also believe that Bush’s original strategy was bad. The fact is we are there now and have to finish. However, it is not a foregone conclusion that we will spend whatever it takes to control Iraq. Anyone who says that has not considered what that means, because it means that we can’t defend our own shores and are subject to economic collapse...which as a policy, I’m against.

I’m amazed that Ron Paul’s message of limited government has resonated so strongly with so many people and I am equally amazed at the resistance to limiting government. There are a lot of RINOs out there.
