And why don’t you show me a quote from any of these conservatives you claim are willing to let Iran acquire nuclear weapons or your accusation against conservative republicans is bogus.

Paul has basically said it is there right and that he would let them have them.

“If Iran had a nuclear weapon, why would this be different from Pakistan, India, and North Korea having one? Why does Iran have less right to a defensive weapon than these other countries?” – Ron Paul - April 7, 2006

The problem we have now is that we have radicals such as Paul teaming up with the CodePink left-wing radicals in stagnating our efforts to get something done by equating terrorist sponsoring dictatorships with our allies and even the United States itself. This mentality of ‘blame America’ and of defending the rights of terrorists and/or dictatorships that oppress and murder innocent free peoples is despicable.

If you want to rail against Rand Paul and libertarians that’s your choice.

For me, mainstream Republicanism has had a long chance to do its work, and we’ve seen how well its done it, but if you want to stick with the approach of attacking libertarians because you don’t agree with everything they believe in, or you think that Progressivism is better than Libertarianism, then that’s your right as an American citizen.

I just happen to disagree.

You must have me confused with someone. I didn’t say anything about a conservative being willing to let Iran acquire nuclear weapons.

However, I will add this point to the discussion based on what you said here:

“The problem we have now is that we have radicals such as Paul teaming up with the CodePink left-wing radicals in stagnating our efforts to get something done by equating terrorist sponsoring dictatorships with our allies and even the United States itself.”

If Rand Paul is a radical, answer this question:

What is he a radical for?

I’m a radical too. A radical Capitalist. And that is a very good thing.

Maybe you should be a radical Conservative, and then we would have a lot of common goals, or maybe you would rather just “go along and get along.”

Who is threatened by a nuclear Iran? Do you seriously suggest that Iran would use them against the United States?
