Jefferson - Tripoli
I am not a communist nor a neo con.
Oh, never mind support Paul, it is your right but do not pretend he is something he is not.
Not a conspiracy, just another old career politician who talks a lot but can’t accomplish anything and would probably rather have the issue remain on the table so he can keep raising money off it and getting attention.
He was on the local news the other night and said the reason he was in the presidential race was to make people listen to him.
The story was about how the media's not covering him.
Hey, they're not covering Huntsman and some of the other non-essentials either. ;-)
This article is nothing but hateful neo-con garbage. Judging from what I have been reading around here no one is good enough to assume the presidency from the Obamanation. Therefore, I think I will just count my ammunition, check the water and food supply, and occasionally check in to see how badly the supposed good guys are beating up on each other. We should be focused on kicking that pospotus out of the White House instead of trying to destroy his potential opponents. I would vote for Ron Paul in less than a heartbeat if he could rid us of that joker that now holds the presidency.
What Jefferson did was not intervention as we define it today, we did not invade and Nation Build Libya. The Barbery Pirate’s posed a clear and present danger to our trade routes, just as the Somalia pirates are today. I have no problem with our navy patrolling the seas around Somalia defending our flagged merchant shipping, but I would prefer that our merchants were well armed and could defend themselves from piracy, just as I would want to be armed to defend myself from thieves and murders as necessary.
Any pirates caught today should be subject to the laws against piracy at sea, tried aboard ship and if found guilt hanged and baried at sea.
I agree Ron Paul is a Libertarian as am I, but there are only two competitive parties in America, if Paul does not get the Nomination, I will vote for the nominee of the Republican party just as I did when I voted for McCain.
If the lesser of two evils is the choice I am given, then so be it, the result must be the same the communist needs to get his pink slip.
“Not a conspiracy, just another old career politician who talks a lot but can’t accomplish anything and would probably rather have the issue remain on the table so he can keep raising money off it and getting attention.”
This seem irrelevant as Paul has stated that this is it for him, he’s not returning to the house of reps.
Retirement, awaits. Buy the way, he refused the house retirement benefit out of principle.
NAH!.. it couldn't be a conspiracy could it?..
Damn and I was wanting to think the figgen federal reserve WAS a conspiracy...
Why would anyone want to control the economy in an entire country.. or even world-wide?..
Maybe I am too cynical... looking for easy answers....
BUT it sure does look like a conspiracy... with all taxes going to the federal depository..
loaned back to the federal government.. minus interest..
You know with the federal reserve not being federal at all but its a misnomer..
But true I am not too smart... I'm a republican..
Not at all. When the cops apprehend a perp, what do they do? You might instead say that they “grabbed” him. You could (but probably wouldn’t) say they “grasped” him. In any case, it means to take hold of and subsequently maintain possession of something. So similarly it’s proper to say that one apprehends an idea or concept, because he grasps a hold of it and maintains his hold.
For example, people describe misunderstanding an idea or a set of facts as a “misapprehension”. Couldn’t very well misapprehend if it weren’t also possible to apprehend.
This from an "author," who I do know which he hates most, Christianity or Sarah Palin. I figure he hates conservatism the most, though.
Mencken quote: "...the most consistently, if not conspicuously, Christian of the Right’s denizens — have let their religion’s eternal penis envy against unbaptized Jews poison them against the state of Israel. How’s that for a blood libel, Ms. Palin?"
Is this the guy who more closely represents your political philosophy, mnehring? Or were you merely desperate for a Paul hit piece? So desperate you would bring it from a Christian, and conservative hating libtard? Really?
