"Paul fears the loss of freedoms at home more than he does terrorist attacks."
To: traviskicks
Can’t argue with the fact he ‘livens’ it up.

That's why, though he has Powerball odds or worse of winning the presidency.."
I'm not quite sure this part is accurate, some have argued that Paul may match up better
against Hillary than any other Republican Candidate.
And he is trading at 6% of winning the Republican on gambling sites, a number that has
rapidly risen lately.

"Paul fears the loss of freedoms at home more than he does terrorist attacks." I whole heartedly agree with him on that.

Paul smiles often and cuts to the quick of political folly. He was, he says, in the Air Force during the Cuban missile crisis, when nuclear warheads 90 miles offshore were pointed at America. That crisis was defused with diplomacy, he said. Now, politicians are talking about going to war with Iran and "hysterical over a weapon that doesn't exist." The "diplomacy" was the threat of war with the US that caused the Russians to back down.
When JFK does it, it's "diplomacy", when Bush does it, it's "hysteria."

“Paul fears the loss of freedoms at home more than he does terrorist attacks.”
Libertarians are more doctrinaire than communists. Even Stalin lightened up a bit on the doctrines when Hitler came knocking.

What I find amazing is how Ron Paul supporters are given free reign and carte blanche to relentlessly post propoganda 24/7 while Giuliani supporters have been beaten down here to the point where some have been kicked off the FR website. Its sad.

The difference, of course, Sadaam didn't back down. If the Soviets hadn't, I presume Paul would advocate leaving the nukes in Cuba.

To: traviskicks
he's the only Republican candidate to call for the immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq
No doubt the main reason the board is fawning all over him.
All the other points are secondary.

He is often marginalized as an extremist.
Someone once wrote, "if you want government to intervene domestically, you're a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you're a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you're a moderate. If you don't want government to intervene anywhere, you're an extremist.

Ron Paul = 21st Century Neville Chamberlain.
He would be dangerous if he weren’t completely insignificant.

‘Paul fears the loss of freedoms at home more than he does terrorist attacks. ‘
Yep, which is why many think he’s a kook. We didn’t lose 3,000 ‘freedoms’ we lost 3,000 Americans, men women and children.
The fact he basically misunderstands those that would kill us all, and are trying to figure out how to do so, renders him completely and totally unqualified to be Commander in Chief.
You cannot negotiate with religious fanatics. Somebody should tatoo that on Mr Paul’s forehead backwards, so he is required to read it each morning while shaving.

Well, I certainly do not agree with Rudy supporters being booted willy nilly. But more than a few of them committed freepercide.

The reality of the Cuban Missile Crisis is that it was neither resolved by diplomacy nor by threat of war.
It was resolved by a weak sister named John F. Kennedy caving in to the Soviets.
Kennedy got the Soviets to remove the missiles by removing our missiles from Turkey and agreeing not to invade Cuba in the future.
The US backed down and encouraged 30 more years of Soviet expansionism, exacerbated by Kennedy's equally cowardly successor's failure to assist the Czechs in 1968.
This is what Ron Paul thinks the US should do: whatever the enemy wants as long as he does not hurt us today.
