An obvious, intense dislike of Israel and utter ignorance of Islamic teachiings and goals are NOT “rough edges” that will “smooth out” - they are a profound danger to our country.
I realize that the few of you who are putting me on the griddle regarding Dr. Paul’s stances are doing that due to the tag line I added the other day out of a feeling of utter desperation!
I was, and am, extremely agitated that our nation, when a true rounded conservative is needed, has to settle for one of the several hacks that call themselves Republicans. Unfortunately today there are several types of Republicans: Conservative, Moderate (they stand for nothing), left and crazy left.
It is a dirty shame that I, along with many of you here, have had to live under 12 presidents who fall into the useless moderate and the left and only one in my lifetime that was worthy: RWR.
That being said, indications are that the current despotic, pathetic excuse for an adult that presently occupies the White Hut, will be replaced by a Republicrat who stands for nothing. What we will be subjected to will be a continuum of FED, EPA, DOE, social experimenting, political correctness and, yes, gorebal warming junk science treachery.
Our nation is in worse shape than at any time in its history. We have, literally, a war going on on our southern border that is unabated. While this nation suffers we have troops stationed in 143 countries. That part is unacceptable. Israel and Taiwan are our only two, true allies. In forsaking either, Mr. Paul is dead wrong. Even though these allies are of extreme importance no US troops are stationed there. Nor is there a sophisticated missile defense system installed in either ally. The reason for that is patently clear: any installation in Israel would infuriate islam (religion of peace), and in Taiwan it would infuriate those money lenders who truly wish us death and destruction.
Paul’s position on the above certainly needs some moderating in respect to the two allies, but those troops and installations in the over 100 spots in the world need to be closed.
Dr. Paul is the only candidate, other than Michelle Bachmann, who has stated publicly that the above mentioned tentacles of our monstrous central socialist government be eliminated. Romney and Gingrich both are globalists who would put the aspirations of a collective gaggle of nations ahead of the security and economic well-being of America.
Find us a candidate who cares. Find us one that will take the drastic action needed to tame and slash this monster ruining our lives and our economy that we call the government.
I’ll wait, albeit not patiently, for either the right candidate to ride in, or for the next revolution to begin.
