DAMN SAND MONKEYS!
The house of cards is as precarious as it has ever been and these decerebrate protosimians keep flooding the threads screeching "peace and safety" and mocking the one guy who is willing to stand up and tell the truth: which is "WE CAN'T AFFFORD TO POLICE THE WORLD."
We are bankrupting ourselves waving about hysterical threats from a bunch of sand monkeys.
I have become convinced that we probably WILL recede from the leader of the free world, but when/if the islamofascists do come it won't be because of people like Ron Paul. It will be because we have insisted on throwing military might willy-nilly at every halfassed muslim loon with an AK47 and a koran, and then bawling out about the need for patriotism and strength when they engage us in guerilla warfare. We keep this stupid lunacy for foreign policy going and we will bleed ourselves so dry that we will not have the resources to fight when the time really comes.
One thing good about it, though. We won't have the streams of Mexicans coming across the border. We are going to wind up so damn broke that Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador etc are going to have stronger economies than we are.
I get so exasperatingly sick of the halfwit fascists who pose as conservatives I could just scream. They have sold out EVERY major tenet of what used to be conservatism for some dream of military domination of the world....., or if it is NOT military domination of the world, please explain what havig troops in over 100 countries all over the world is.
What truth? It is difficult to understand what Ron Paul would do to ensure American security. Guard the borders. No pre-emptive strikes. Congressman Paul, while a good man and a Christian, is shackled by his own ideology. He simply cannot be trusted to defend America in the modern era. His interview here with Human Events was at times very unclear. He seemed unable to answer questions directly, and kept returning to Iraq, over and over again. Paul could not truly enunciate an answer on whether he would ever engage in pre-emptive war. His war on terror would consist of guarding our borders and, apparently, nothing else. Al-Qaeda might be gathering strength for an attack, but Ron Paul would sit serenely behind Fortress America, secure in his ideological assumptions right up until the moment al-Qaeda attacks. And if our allies who have depended on us for decades run into trouble...well, that is their problem.
Paul’s fundamental assumption is that American power projected around the world is evil. I see it differently, as a needed balance to the ambitions of expansionist dictators.
“or if it is NOT military domination of the world, please explain what havig troops in over 100 countries all over the world is.”
And in most of these places, we PAY to have our bases in those places from the consent of the local government...even though we protect the people of the area and don’t ask anything in return. How in the hell is that military domination over the world?!?!?
The fact that he stated he won't says a lot about Paul's character and as even he understands that the Dims are far worse than the Republicans, even though the very same Republicans have tried to undercut him throughout his entire career.
If the GOP was smart, they'd court Paul and get his endorsement of Fred, give him a tribute or speaking engagement at the convention. Because Thompson is probably the only candidate besides Paul who understands the true meaning of the Constitution & limited government.
