PaleoPaulie prefers to stick America's head in the sand and just make believe that the baaaaaad men aren't there unless he can see them (assuming he thinks they are baaaad in the first place). He is a delusional loon on military and foreign policy. His brain (if any) is where the sun shineth not.
El Run Paulie is dishonest to a fault: cramming his extensive earmarks into every budget while bleating about fiscal conservatism, claiming to be pro-life while whining about how the constitution will not let him DO anything about it a mere 37 years and 50 million sliced,m diced and hamburgerized babies since Roe vs. Wade (courtesy of SCOTUS run amok but, hey whatever we do, don't thwart them with national legislation since the self-deluded "constitutional" experts of the Paulistinian movement may become even more unglued), likewise, Paulie would sit back idly as philosopher king while marriage is deconstructed by people who lack a certain common sense about what goes where. Why should we care UNLESS truthfreedom's portfolio can be augmented.
BTW, it is my experience that the mythical "fiscal conservatism" IS the last refuge of RINO's such as you admire: Murkowski, Collins, Snowe and the typical trash supported by Muffy and Skipper down at the polo club and by the RSCC of Cornyn and others. Profits uber alles while claiming to want gummint neutrality. RINO's are not prolifers and neither (regardless of his disinformation campaigns) is do nothing paleoPaulie. Nor are they or he pro-marriage to protect the institution against lavender make-believe. Nor do they believe in human freedom other than their personal freedom nor does he. It's the I gotta be ME!!!! movement.
AND this RINO was an attorney for 1100 people arrested in what was called Operation Rescue. I did something. So did they (actually they did a lot more and I smart-mouthed prosecutors and judges for them). Sometimes, they even had sit-ins in the courtrooms with their backs to the judges. 30 were convicted out of 1100 arrested. I also found the time to be a state chairman for Reagan.
I don't support Ron El Run Paulie because he is a consummate disgrace, a liar, a fraud, an advocate of a foreign policy of cowardice and a man who wants to wring his handkerchief posing as pro-life while being determined to do absolutely nothing about it. Oh, and I am first interested in a federal ban on abortion. SCOTUS started this holocaust and the central government is obligated to put an end to it. No exceptions for New York, Maryland, Hawaii, and California to become abortion Meccas for the nation.
Finally, if you libertoonians got half as exercised over wasteful domestic spending which consumes multiples of our inadequate military budget, you might have credibility. Instead, you ally with Code Pink and the Americong and those of exotic lifestyle and the babykillers, et al., and give aid and comfort to the radical left. PaleoPaulie seldom opens his yap about the evil of abortion lest he offend his antiwar left pals. He is a surrender monkey in all respects, not just as a mouth for the Blame America First, Last and Always crowd. Fortunately the clock is ticking and he will be gone soon enough. He won't be POTUS at his advanced age and in his mental condition. Nobody cares what he SAYS when he refuses to DO anything while making excuses. He should go home permanently and stop embarrassing himself.
I can even suggest a cheap and low casualty method of warfare against the Islamofascisti. Fill tanker planes with pig blood and remove Mecca, Medina, Tehran, and every city important to them from Islamoworld by dropping the pig blood on those sites. Iowa produces a lot of pork chops and pork roasts and bacon and sausage. The blood has to go somewhere. Why not Islamoworld???? Hit the new Iranian nuclear plant too. Take the Koran and use it against them.
1) When we’re in wars, we definitely should kick ass in them. That’s my personal opinion.
I know that RP doesn’t want to spend all our money killing muslims, and I know that many here do, so I won’t mention his foreign policy too much. I will say that part of his foreign policy contains the idea that people in the middle east get mad at us when we bomb them or invade them or kill their leaders or overthrow their goverments. I know that’s a very controversial idea here. I happen to understand the idea. And honestly, I have trouble understanding exactly the opposite idea. Apparently, people in other countries are supposed to like the fact that we’re coming into their countries, killing their countrymen, killing their leaders, and changing their government. Personally, as an American, I would not like it if some other country invaded the US, hung Obama, and changed our government. But, not only is it ok that we do that to other countries, it is absurd to think that people who live in those countries might be upset about it. That is conventional wisdom here on FR.
2) You either vote for the spending or you don’t. Ron Paul votes no to spending. Earmarks are a sideshow.
3) Ron Paul is 100% Pro-Life. 100% against Roe v Wade. 0% from NARAL. The Sanctity of Life Act. Where are your RINOs on The Sanctity of Life Act?
4) Ron Paul is in favor of Limited Constitutional Government. In favor of huge cuts in Government. A much much smaller Federal Government. Too small, I guess, for you. I want a much smaller, much more limited Federal Government. That’s what Ron Paul is about, and that’s what Ron Paul has always been about. It’s not “fiscal conservatism”, it’s vastly Limited Constitutional Government. Defense is only a tiny bit of it. If Ron Paul had his way, many Federal Agencies would be abolished, but not Defense. He would be defending the borders, like Bush and especially Obama failed to adequately do.
