I thought dad made some good points in opposition to globalist meddling and the damage the Federal Reserve does to the US. Less federal gov is certainly appealing. The problem with dad was the the disruptive and rude supporters. You can't imagine how many times I was called dumb and an Obama lover (and worse) just for asking a question.
Paul the Younger does seem to have more control over most of his supporters. But he seems kind of crazy, and doesn't have the same anti-global warmongering and anti-Federal Reserve message. He's also too willing to support the status quo pols. Maybe the country is fed up enough to support "kind of crazy" this time. Might as well go down as a nation in style.
I only notice Paul when he makes idiotic mistakes. I don’t follow him. He doesn’t interest me, because his mistakes have challenged my core beliefs, and I’m just not interested in supporting him.
Let me ask you this. Isn’t he another “Pull all the troops home and only defend our borders...”, kind of guy?
If so, that is being proven to be a very flawed idea these days, as we watch nation after nation go south because there’s no major player on the stage to keep them in line.
What happens when Russia and China move in to fill the void? Is the world going to be better off with China and Russia being the source of global hegemony instead of the United States?
