Is that your solemn oath to post in all of them? If so, I'll sound such an alert henceforth.
Point?
Fixed it for you, no extra charge. Now go back to the body of the first post and READ the statement of Dr. Paul. Then tell the class what it is in that statement that you disagree with. Quietly. Without name-calling. With reason, logic and footnotes. If you can't do that much, then just sit down and have a nice cup of STFU. This particular thread has been quietly civil, even in disagreement, until you show up, you and lormand. Try civil discourse for a change. Stop being this jerk. You can do it. I have full faith and confidence in you.
Unfortunately in a sound bite world, that all disappears.
Exactly! We have a responsibility (an assignment from God, I believe) to affect the world for freedom an prosperity.
Meanwhile, the bulk of the GOP’s official membership are buying into this Globalist approach. They really are after a North American Union, and it’s not like adding two states, Mexico and Canada- it’s creating an entity that’s above the soverignty of the US.
This is the real reason behind the amnesty push, and why I like Hunter, Paul and Tancredo. (Thompson, I suspect, is just another trojan horse. He’s talked all around this issue, while plainly addressing almost everything else.)
We’ll see whch of the three gets the most mileage. Honestly, I think Paul has the big momentum right now.
But I agree, the Fairtax guys need to more clearly explain the international implications of their plan.
Ron Paul bump
(excellent read!)
Agreed!
That one statement told me all I need to know about Ron Paul - yup, he has always been my first choice as candidate, more now than ever.
And, he has a military record, another plus - whats not to like?
Paul and Hunter both are not globalists in any measure of the word.
Exactly. And I want absolutely NOTHING to do with becoming even more dependent upon GLOBALIST IDEALS.....save for Paul and Hunter, I don't see any other candidate keeping us safe from a North American Union. NAFTA has already proven to be a failure, yet it continues to enlarge.
The NAU, part and parcel of the globalist's goal, is NOT in the best interest of a healthy, sovereign America.
There’s also Tancredo. Hey, check your mail! I sent you a present.
No we can’t. Nobody is going to nuke the entire middle east...
We are not at war with any country.
That was new information to me, as well. Some may say that Bush claimed the same, or something similar. However, in the case of Ron Paul, his past actions are consistent with his current profession, and I do believe in his sincerity of belief. Very good to know that he is guided by Christ.
I need to better understand his foreign policy stance. Even though he explained himself in this Statement of Faith, I want to know his thoughts in more explicit language.
Oh yes, Tancredo too, of course. : )
checking now.
The thing that fascinates me about that statement is that the gungrabbers used the same argument in the mid '90's -- I actually had a gun grabber tell me "I have no problem with you guys keeping and bearing all the muskets you want, but Thomas Jefferson never imagined AK - 47's."
A rapidly emerging litmus test for me is that if some one needs to trot out a moonbat argument to explain why a particular candidate or policy position is a "bad thing", that probably means that there is some merit to it...
Thank you for confirming my support for Paul.
well expressed message of commitment to life and liberty.
Not much to disagree with here at all. I support Ron Paul 100%. No bashing of other candidates necessary, but it is obvious to me Ron Paul is by far the best choice.
We need better human intelligence as well as more dead jihadists. We can't fight the whole world and can't make a free country 100% impermeable to possible threats (though truth be told, we could just enforce our border laws and make a heck of a dent). We need a scalpel, not a sledge hammer, approach.
If GWB weren't such a multi-nationalist, we would have tightened the borders and leaned a lot harder on Congress to let us drill at home, in the oceans, and in the Arctic by now. It stinks having to be bedfellows with countries that hate our guts (China and of course the ME included). We are a nation blessed with wealth.
No ME ally we've ever had has been our ally once the last dollar or weapon left our hands; this war won't be different. They all tend to hate us once we're gone and resent our "globalism." This leaves two solutions: one - never leave, and two leave become more independent. I favor 2, but as I've said elsewhere, we can't "gut and run" on Iraq (gut their infrratructure and then leave). We need them to stand on their feet and be quick about it, but we can't leave their largely innocent population to the wolves we unleashed.
This is all pre-coffee, so apologies if it veered into a mish-mash. There's more thought a brewing but I decided to just stop...
One of the best examples that sets most people off, and for good reason as it is being discussed right now, is the “Trans American” highway. I think an express route between Canada, us and Mexico is not a bad idea per se. Now I put some strong limits on that, such as incredibly strong but swift boarder control, making sure all vehicles that use it conform to strict safety standards and the like. But it will help the markets in the long run.
I don’t know about the bulk of the GOP going for the Globalist approach. I think the problem we are having is the terms getting mixed, which I am guilty of my self. A lot of Republicans represent the interest of business and business wants new markets. hence they push for a better global economy. The challenge and the failure as of now is separating the economic movement from the socio-political one.
Oh and I do like the idea of adding two more states, though Canada and Mexico actually be be several states. That would eliminate the whole boarder issue. Whatever happened to manifest Destiny, and why did it stop California, Alaska and Hawaii ;-)
