I think it's safe to say that TNA, Rep. Paul, & Lew Rockwell have no problem w/ defending our nation against "Moslem/Communist terrorists"...the question is how to go about it.
Anyone who understands the Constitution can figure out that national defense is one of the prime, if not the #1, priorities of the federal government. TNA & these 2 men believe that our military is for DEFENSE & that we should have a foreign policy similar to what the Founding Fathers had (wasn't it Jefferson who said, "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none"?).
Om the other hand, the Neocon leadership of the GOP (& yes, the Dim Party, too; especially CFR member Joe Lieberman) believe that the world is ours & we should have free reign to "make the world safe for democracy"...which I think was a quote from Karl Marx. They believe that it is our job to stamp out tyranny around the globe when it suits their interests.
I will take the word of the Founding Fathers over those of Lieberman, Bush, & Clinton ANY DAY: the US should mind its own business in foreign affairs & not draw the ire of Islamic nutcases in the 1st place....& when we are attacked, destroy the enemy, take no prisoners, & do it QUICKLY.
How do we "draw the ire of islamic nutcases?" By supporting Israel?
Wow. If we support Israel the muzzies won't like us. This sounds like the same logic the Lefties used to use against Rhodesia and South Africa. But for some reason when it comes to Israel, the "palaeocons" start spouting it.
You must really love Obama's Middle East policy.
