Didn’t say I love the military...said I love our military people.

Have family members and freinds in all branches of military.

Guess what. Some of them like Ron Paul too.

National defense is a constitutional priority, but our military modern mission has just become too bloated. Besides, we can’t afford it any longer. Do you think we can?

Let’s bring most of em’ back home and reevaluate and restructure.

Whatever makes you feel better...you are doing yourself a disservice by ignoring the polling data.

I was a Paul supporter last time around but I had no real hope of him winning because I trusted the polls - and they were mostly right.

Don't get me wrong, Paultards and their painted bedsheets do have a certain entertainment value.

This time around he is polling much better, and until and unless some other stronger candidate enters the race, Paul is the best chance we have to beat Obama.

Put down the bong.

Could care less about gay marraige [sic].

In other words, you support it.

Not sure about gays in military... I kinda liked don’t ask don’t tell.

Again, you support sodomy.

No abortion beyond early first term.

And the murder of 53 MILLION INNOCENT AMERICANS is just fine with you.

Are you going to tattle to Jim Rob?

I'm pretty sure Jim wants to know about abortionist trolls who support militant homosexualism.

Spoken like a true leftist. You just repeated the "I support the troops but not the mission" mantra.

You're an f'ing moonbat!

Read Post 55 again. And read this.

Minarchism

Minarchism is the political philosophy that advocates the minimum government necessary to ensure social order. In general, minarchists support government providing a legal system including police and judges. Beyond this, there is often disagreement about what the government's minimal role should be, with some including roads and natural resources, but others holding only to police and a court system.

Conservapedia didn't waste anymore space on it because there isn't any agreement on what it is. What you are listing is VERY basic and leads to anarchy.

What we can't afford is Obamacare and bailouts. THAT is what is killing us. A weak military opens us to attack.

Touche’

But others didn’t fair as well.

Palin, Trump, etc... did not.

I’m just keeping it real you guys.

Don’t continue to be in denial. As of right now Paul has the best chance of any of those out there willing to run.

Do you want to beat Obama or not?

Last election many here wanted folks to vote for the nominee McCain because he had the best shot at beating Obama. Some stood on principal and voted 3rd party or write-in....and McCain lost.

If it comes down to it in this election, and Paul is the nominee, will you all stand on your principles and allow Obama to win again?

Will you even give him the nomination if he polls the highest against Obama come closer to the election? Or will you give the nomination to someone who polls much lower?

You’re arguing with people who do not really believe in the founding thesis of this country. They try to wrap themselves in the Constitution but their views have no real relation to it.

They just want to replace the current authoritarian regime with a different authoritarian regime. Their utopian version would be just as coercive as the current regime. No net benefit.

And what does “the military” [sic] comprise but “military people?”

Do you know what a distinction without a difference is?

Why don't you all realize that Paul has the best shot so far at beating Obama. The polls even say so.

Maybe push polls

If all the FReepers would just get behind him we could win

Why would FReepers want to get behind a blame America first, anti-military, pro-gay, pro-terrorist anti-American like cut and run?

Look at your tagline and then tell me drugs should be legal. mommya admitted to being a social liberal. Square that with Christ, our Constitution and our nations Christian roots. And don’t forget homosexuality.

Notice that "minarchism" (AKA anarchism) DOES NOT include many of the constitutionally mandated roles of government.

I never knew you were a Paultard, not that I'm surprised though.

I think so.

But I can like military folks without liking every mission.

I like the people that work at Wal-mart - but I don’t like Wal-Mart.

I like public sector union workers - but I don’t like public sector unions.

But those comparisons are not even applicable here, because I do like our military... no matter how many times you all try to tell me I don’t.

Christ didn’t call for a theocratic State. What pagans do that does not harm me does not concern me. Obeying God is my concern not the States concern.

Ron Paul is a non-factor.

He is 100% unelectable and has EARNED his name kookpaul.

only the delusional waste time and money on him.

in fact it is a waste of taxpayer matching funds.

I prefer “Constitutiontard”, not that it surprises me that you have a problem with that.

Yeah. I saw. Minarchism is “mini-anarchism”. Where do they think the name came from?!
