Of the sniper that was murdered in TX recently, Dr. Ron Paul said, “Live by the sword, die by the sword.” The sawed-off little pr**k is not a favorite around here these days.
Ah...! Yes, of course.
Yes, that bothered me, too.
Thanks.
Specifically, Paul was talking about the wisdom (or not) of treating a PTSD-scarred person AT A FIRING RANGE. Gotta agree with him there, it’s not where I would have taken the fellow.
Now let’s see, Paul was opposed to the war that gave that guy PTSD in the first place, and he’s generally opposed to most wars because they are costly, destructive, end the lives of innocent people, and often lead to the curtailment of liberty.
But apparently Paul is a pinko commie America-hater for his opinions.
Sorry, I used to be gung ho about the war on terror too, and I regarded anybody who opposed it as an America-hater and probably a socialist. But I’ve done some growing up, some learning, and a lot of praying, and I have to say that as a Christian and a lover of freedom I think I agree with just about everything I’ve heard Paul say on war. A lot of pro-war conservatives have been brain-washed to be in favor of a huge military and more war because of the Cold War alliance between liberty-lovers and the US military and its interests.
But it’s time to realize that war is almost always a big government program designed to fix problems caused by other big government programs.
