If the Paultards had been around in the 1930’s and 1940’s, they’d have been asking what right we had to stop Hitler from enslaving Europe, and eventually the world. Short sighted isolationism is not in America’s interest.
The sooner Ron Paul and his minions fade from prominence, the better.
You know, it’s interesting (from my admittedly limited knowledge of history): Before the US entered WWII, there were a significant portion of isolationists, and actually it was quite popular thought to “stay out of the war in Europe”.
Then that all pretty much evaporated after Pearl Harbor.
Now, I would think that 9/11 would be, or should have been, our modern day Pearl Harbor, uniting the country against radical Islam. It did for a while, but now, for some reason, there seems to be a growing backlash against the WoT, for reasons I still can’t fathom. A growing isolationist movement.
Maybe it’s literally the amount of years: After all, for the US, WWII “only” lasted 4 years. It’s been over 10 since 9/11.
For whatever reason the isolationists seem to be back in “vogue”, it’s puzzling and disappointing. I never imagined, or wanted to really, the days and weeks after 9/11 that this country would forget that horrible day and what kind of threat such insanity poses. Apparently some have though, again, a sad reality.
Either they have forgotten, or bought into some crazy conspiracy theory that deflects blame away from Islamic terrorism; either way, this is why we have the likes of Ron Paul today. God help us.
