LOL. Ron Paul just handed Chris Wallace his (liberal) hat. Wow.

Chris Wallace Comeuppance Vanity

[Cringing Negativism Network]

LOL!

OK I just decided.

If Palin doesn't run, Paul has my vote.

[Chickensoup]

A lot of people don’t like the use of our citizen soldiers as globalist assassins.

Some Americans still believe in the American creed of justice delivered by trial under the rule of law.

I think assassination is a great idea. Maybury explains it in his books. He discusses Switzerland and their policy of killing the heads of any organizaion, the general of any troops instead of the soldiers. The elite dont want to be at risk and they back off.

[dirtboy]

We are not at war with Pakistan and that house was not a battlefield in any shape or form.

Neither is NYC a battlefield. But bin Laden turned it into one for a day. So we turned his home into a battlefield for a day. Payback's a bitch.

The idea that our citizens can be ordered by marxist int he white house to assassinate people in a country we are not at war with is repulsive to the American creed.

We didn't attack Pakistan. We attacked bin Laden hiding in Pakistan. Obama's order was simply the culmination of years of executive, congressional, military and intelligence activity in response to 911. And all you can do is screech like your stupid hero.

You Paultards are truly pathetic.

It's a matter of sematics. When you're fighting an enemy who does not represent a nation state, wears no uniform and hides himself while he plots attacks from his hiding place, the battlefield is WHEREVER he is found to be hiding.

And while I agree with this statement, I also think it's in our best interest to worry less about sending in occupying forces, and more about striking enemy targets with our air superiority.

Our results in Pakistan show that we can use minimal ground forces (which minimizes risk) and when we identify targets, make surgical strikes to neutralize them.

That way they won't know where we are or when we will strike, and when we do hit them it will come as a big, deadly, surprise!

[airborne]

I’d prefer to put him in charge of investigating the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve.

That would be a full time job for him, and I think he’d do a great job of it!

[Let_It_Be_So]

...I also think it's in our best interest to worry less about sending in occupying forces, and more about striking enemy targets with our air superiority.

 

I agree as long as no Nation State takes it upon themselves to join the forces of the enemy, at which time it could require a rethinking of the overall strategy. In this context, you never say never. 

[airborne]

Agreed.

But we spend too much time trying to be their friends. Showing weakness doesn’t work with their culture.

They respect & respond to strength. They use our political correctness against us, and it needs to stop!

[WillVoteForFood]

Paul “runs” for President as a means to hold on to his actual elected office. It costs him nothing to waste everybody’s time. He is as cynical and typical a politician as there is.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Ron Paul??? He is just too old and not “sexy” enough for the brain dead voting majority. If only he were 30 years younger, and sane.

Remember when that other old man? The delusional (It’s my turn to run) John (F-ing) McCain Stood up at the podium and Pleaded (In his creepy weak old man voice) “Fight with me, my friends” I knew at that moment he would never be elected, My heart sank. It became obvious to me that this guy was yesterday’s news.

The last thing we need now is another old man leading the way, no matter what!
I kind of like Pawlenty, but only if he learns how to be a true conservative. ———JMHO.

[John D]

That would be a full time job for him, and I think he’d do a great job of it!

What makes you think that? He has been in Washington for 30 years, can you name one thing he has done? I know, you can't, but don't feel bad, because nobody else can either. That is because other than talk he has done nothing.

[Akron Al]

Count me in as another Freeper 4 Paul!

[Let_It_Be_So]

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

By the way, your tagline causes me to reminisce of my late father, a paratrooper in WWII (101st Airborne)...as tough as they came. He and I didn’t see eye to eye about everything political, but we were in agreement about the concept of defending our Liberty against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

[ex-snook]

"my late father, a paratrooper in WWII (101st Airborne)."

God bless your Dad and the 101st.

[hedgetrimmer]

We shouldn't retaliate?

We did. It was called 'Desert Spring'.

[hedgetrimmer]

Republicans do not want to see our military destroyed.

You are so wrong. The criminal globalists are on both sides of the fence. Don't forget it was Bush who allowed the UN to write the Iraqi constitution and make a socialist power sharing government instead of a constitutional government for individual rights as FREEDOM loving AMERICANs would have done. But being a globalist, he allowed the UN to dictate the government of Iraq and guess what? Civil war immediately ensued killing more of our soldiers and effectively stopping any withdrawal after the war was 'won'.

Then he allows the ISAF to execute our military strategy in the middle east. It destroys our troops because they are NOT ALLOWED to win!!!! Bush the Republican did that!!

Where are the republicans standing up to the ISAF who won't let our soldiers defend themselves in Afghanistan. Where are they? No they allow the inexplicable ROE that is getting our soldiers killed to continue.

You have a fantasy view of the republican party I'm afraid.

[hedgetrimmer]

It's a matter of sematics

Not really. Its a matter of a handful of globalists who want to end run around the constitution and avoid having to convince congress to declare war. Its an end run around congressional control of the budget because its a 'kinetic operation' against individuals. Well nations don't war with individuals, nations war with other nations.

Then the criminal globalists say-- we're a war with 'terror'. Then they can siphon American money away from the economy and there is never a day the war will end, because it's at war with an 'idea' which is terror, not a physical real nation. Then too, they can take money out of the American economy and give it to the nations that harbor the terrorists, because we are at war with an idea, not a nation.

It is one gigantic anti-American scam going on here. The American people are paying and paying and paying and our fellow citizens, our soldiers are getting abused and killed. Do you know that our soldiers can't even carry weapons on many of our military bases here? Why to you think the Ft Hood shooter was able to kill so many people?

Step aside from your globalist ideology for a moment and think about it.

[rbmillerjr]

Ron Paul is an idiot.

[hedgetrimmer]

Please don’t bore us with your misuse of the word taxes. If I pay an American $5 dollars for something he made, its not a tax it is a payment.

If I pay $5 to a transnational corporation who used a slave to make the product, who pays the slave $0.30, gets $2.50 for the product and pays $2.20 in a tariff to the federal government, the only tax is on the company who is lower than dirt because they are perpetuating slavery and trying to disguise it as ‘low prices for consumers’ in a country where 600,000 Americans died to settle the slavery question once and for all.

We can thank the free traitors for bringing slavery back to American and instituting taxes on wages, which is an assault on property.

[hedgetrimmer]

You are the only one talking about Ron Paul, so please correct yourself.

[Let_It_Be_So]

Historically, that would be true.  However, I believe the "loose" confederation of radical islamists, scattered in several countries around the world, must be faced as a "whole".  Although they do not represent a single nation (or officially any nation for that matter, with the possible exception of Iran), they represent a clear and present danger to this Republic, and therefore our collective Liberty.  To not recognize this threat under the auspices of their not be aligned with a single nation would be to return to the pre 9-11 days of their being at war with us and we not being at war with them.  Like it or not, they declared war against us and we must fight them on their turf or suffer the consequences. 

Then the criminal globalists say-- we're a war with 'terror'.

 

No, we're at war with radical islamists, flesh and blood humans who are "hell-bent" on our destruction.  Terrorist attacks are tactics they use to accomplish their mission.

 

Then they can siphon American money away from the economy and there is never a day the war will end, because it's at war with an 'idea' which is terror, not a physical real nation.

 

What is the "maximum" you'll agree to pay for your liberty?  When that limit is reached, do you give up on the idea of "Give me Liberty or Give Me Death"?

 

Then too, they can take money out of the American economy and give it to the nations that harbor the terrorists, because we are at war with an idea, not a nation.

You and I may possibly have an area of agreement with respect to how foreign aid is handled.  We're getting quite a way from the initial discussion of the "legality" of killing Osama, aren't we?

 

...Do you know that our soldiers can't even carry weapons on many of our military bases here? Why to you think the Ft Hood shooter was able to kill so many people?

 

Again, we now have an area of agreement, I think. 

Step aside from your globalist ideology for a moment and think about it.

 

I have an American ideology, pure and simple.  And believe me, I have thought about it.

“We did. It was called ‘Desert Spring’.” (in question related to retaliating against Bin Laden)

Desert Spring has nothing to do with Bin Laden, that was the Kuwait operation.
