You are going to call me names? Get over yourself.

They are in our face, in our country because we are in their country.

There have been a lot of people who have written about terrorism and the terrorists themselves will tell you why they come here. They come here because we’re over there.

They do not attack for what we are, they attack us because we are in their countries.

When my dad stood up to Giuliani and said that our foreign policy caused us some of what we got on 9/11, he didn’t say that it justified what those people did to us. But we have to understand that there is blowback from our foreign policy.

Rand Paul has the same mentality as his dad in blaming America for the terrorists and dictators of the world. Ron Paul would allow Iran to have nuclear weapons and would leave Israel hung out to dry.

Ether Paul would be dangerous for this nation and for freedom around the world with ‘blame America’ mentality and isolationist views.

Sorry. That doesn’t fit blame “America” that fits blaming the politicians for their policies. A policy disagreement does not equal “blaming America”. I think the Federal Government is greatly wrong on many, many things, does that mean I blame America? The GOP establishment uses this line of spin to in order to continue us down the path to economic destruction. There will be nothing left to protect. Rand Paul was for the Afghanistan operation, and not Iraq. A reasonable position. In fact, George W. Bush sounded a lot like that in 2000. You can say 911 should have changed all that, but it is not unreasonable to say there are problems with US policy going back decades.

(Rand Paul at Western Kentucky University, April 7, 2009)— to deny this comment is to deny reason and refuse to engage in critical thinking. Foreign policy decisions have ramifications. The difference is that you or I or Paul or Rudy G might have a different opinion on whether it is WORTH the blowback, but to sit there and imply that all the US meddling going way back before Kissinger and especially during Kissinger’s reign doesn’t affect things is crazy. One might determine it is worth it, but let’s not pretend US policy by different administrations has always been fantastic and right and true. That just isn’t reality. It is a difference of opinion, hardly “blaming America”.

And even beyond all that, the current disaster in the Federal Government is ten times more dangerous than terrorism.

If you want to throw flames, then be prepared to take flames yourself. I think your line of thinking is very dangerous, as it leads to the same ol same ol, and the country will become a 3rd world mess hardly worth attacking.
