It is hard to say who, other than our Islamist enemies, benefits from Ron Paul’s slick ad asking, “What if China had bases in Texas?” Paul uses it to promote his delusional view of the world and certainly fools some well-meaning but ill-informed Americans.
Those who don’t want us to fight with our hands tied behind our back are easy prey for the gibberish Paul is selling because this ad blurs the lines between the frustrating manner we have prosecuted the war on terror and the very valid reasons for entering into it to begin with.
Many Americans who understand the appallingly halfhearted way the war in Viet Nam was “fought” have an understandable predisposition toward believing we are fighting a “civil war” or “meddling in the affairs of other countries” when we take proactive measures in fighting our war on terror. Paul knows this and shamelessly plays on it for votes.
Nevertheless, implying there is no difference between Viet Nam and the current war on terror is as addle brained as saying there is no difference between night and day.
Because it was largely true that nothing when North Viet Nam and the Chinese attacked South Viet Nam, would not have brought that war to our shores, does not in any way mean a “live and let live” policy toward the Islamist will insure our safety – just ask the Spanish train bombing victims about that.
Paul’s misguided foreign policy would have us deny the threat of Islam based on the implied notion that we can treat Iran and organized Islamist terror groups as if they are just another group of Nazis speaking a different language.
The Nazis did not want to destroy our way of life; they wanted to take over our way of life. The Islamists...

If that were only the case. These people are degrading the conservative “brand” as well. We are getting tarred by these people who claim to be conservative or republican, when they are not.
Our political enemies LOVE it and promote such notions, of course. We all look like crackpots.
Libertarians represent only a fraction of a % of the electorate when put to the election test.
“...a big embezzlement scandal in 88...”

I do not know about the Chinese, but the mooslimes already have a terrorist sympathizer in Galveston.
As crazy as it sounds, china probably has enough cash to buy texas outright, not that they would do that directly, of course. The trick would be to aquire bits and pieces over time, through mergers and buyouts, of key industries and infrastucture. The chinese are patient and methodical, do not underestimate them.
True. Libertarian crackpot Paul and his cult are a dream come true for Obama and the establishment RINOs.
Correct - I believe that happened under Clinton’s watch - late 1990s. Payoff for all those Buddhist contributions.
As opposed to the other crackpots who have brought us to the rim of the rabbit hole and are busily trying to push us all in????
