MR. WALLACE: So, Congressman Paul, and Id like you to take 30 seconds to answer this, youre basically saying that we should take our marching orders from al Qaeda? If they want us off the Arabian Peninsula, we should leave? (Laughter.)
REP. PAUL: No! (Cheers, applause.) Im saying (laughter) Im saying we should take our marching orders from our Constitution. We should not go to war (cheers, applause) we should not go to war without a declaration. We should not go to war when its an aggressive war. This is an aggressive invasion. Weve committed the invasion of this war, and its illegal under international law. Thats where I take my marching orders, not from any enemy. (Cheers, boos.)

No, he just slipped up and revealed his true anti-American beliefs.
Yes, it's called defensive war - the only kind that is legitimate under just-war doctrine. Pope John Paul II opposed our Iraq invasion because it was the aggressive waging of war, not a war responding defensively to an attack or imminent attack.
Curiously Ru isn’t so concerned about the letter of the Constitution when it comes to earmarks for the wild shrimping industry.
He’s a fraud and a kook. If Craig can be pressured into resigning for playing footsie in a public restroom, why can’t the same be done with this anti-American fool? He’s a complete embarrassment to the Republican party and the conservative movement movement.
If that’s all that it takes to rattle him then he has no business as President of the United States. Ru would have been confined to a padded cell for the rest of his life if he had been president on 9/11.
How screwed up is the Republican party that y’all accuse a guy who adheres to the Constitution and is a small government advocate a Democrat?
You people are so screwed up. What happened to the Republican Party? Where are the true conservatives? I didn’t leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party left me.
NewBee, you are a bit obvious.
You Paulestinians posting on FR are not looking for like minded but to use words and slogans to suck in those who
don’t have a clue what L Ron Paul is really about.
His anti war rants are right out of the far left playbook
as is his views on 9/11.
The Paulestinians are only out to divide the Republicans
and make sure a person of the anti war far left wins in 08.
I’m sure the viking kitties will find him soon enough.
Oh, sure, draw a line, back up a little farther when it’s crossed, then, a little farther and a new line, a bit more, then see how far our contracts will get us with anyone.
Saddam was the aggressor, the UN was actually another. Finally, the leaders I helped elect refused to back off, to draw another line, to appease fraud and aggression. They called the UN on its failure to follow through on the contract. The UN acquiesced at last, and our Nation legally enforced the contract.
There are consequences to breaching the non-aggression principle, or the concept is worthless.
OK, the Republican Party left you and you're no longer a Republican. Yet you're fixated on the Republican Party. Not a healthy attitude.
Freepers are screwed up, so your decide to come on over and tell them they're screwed up. That's odd too.
