I have a feeling this guy would’ve objected to a declaration of war after Pearl Harbor.

“I have a feeling this guy would’ve objected to a declaration of war after Pearl Harbor.“

You see some equivalency? You think border battles in Syria are equivalent, in terms of a threat to Americans,, to the Japanese attack on our country’s soil?

If so you have a low threshold for declaring war

I believe that is overboard just a tad.

Rand Paul in the past says our military should be used to protect our homeland and not to be the police for the world. If we were attacked we would fight back which is what we should be doing.

Not this global nation building that we have been doing for the past 5 decades.

no he would not have, Pearl Harbor was an act against the country.

The motivating factor here and for most libertarians is Is it Constitutional and does it Protect Americans?

Which guy are you referring to, Trump or Romney?

There’s no doubt in my mind that Trump would retaliate immediately. My doubt rests with Congress.

USA does not defend its own borders.

So self defense is the same as getting into everybody else’s disputes. What a loon you are.
