It really is a shame that there are so many ignorant on the constitution. A nation of uneducated ignorant liberal morons.
Letters of marque and reprisal would have targeted specific terrorist suspects instead of invoking war against a foreign state. Paul reintroduced this legislation as the Marque and Reprisal Act of 2007. He voted with the majority for the original Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists in Afghanistan. In April 2009, following the Maersk Alabama hijacking, he proposed issuing letters of marque to combat the problem of piracy in Somalia.
There would be not profit in having a Letter of Marque unless you could commit acts of piracy (A/K/A as stealing other people's stuff) so the idea that they would actually solve anything off the coast of Somalia is laughable, as is the idea they would solve anything anywhere else.
A few people who would not vote for establishment Republicans under any circumstances, and chose Obummer out of exasperation, no doubt.
Very true. They think the world is a simple place. Kind of like being able to solve complex issues like is done in a one hour television show.
Worth repeating bump.
Could it be that your're simply more attuned to noticing nuts?
The most vehement opposition to Paul is not his position on shrinking government power and spending and restoring individual rights. It is his vision for our military as a homeland security operation rather than a global “peace keeper.”
He has support from those who want a constitutional government restored and he has support from peaceniks who want our military out of the global role it currently plays.
Ofcourse, the neo-nazis are on the bandwagon of withdrawing US military support to Israel because they want Jews dead. They are an active, loud and proud mob in kookville.
Correct me if I am wrong... but a Libertarian IS an anarchist, more or less...
He is L’tarian with (R) by his name hoping he has a chance :p
small L libertarians are far from anarchy. They are commited to freedom, defense, the Constitution, common law, and capatilism that is true, not the crony capitalism that has taken our country down.
I like more and more what I hear about libertarianism. I am far from a lunatic.
I don’t know how Washington, Adams, and Jefferson would be perceived today, but I still have the same opinion I had of Ron Paul today as yesterday and the funniest thing I saw about Paul was his false eyebrows...Was that photoshopped or was it real? If it was for real, the poor man needs medication not the presidency.. Pictures today cannot be taken as real with photoshoping and some are excellent with it.... :O)
I think I'd be in trouble if I didn't notice them.
Don't believe everything you see on the internet.
Weird eyebrows are nothing to be overly worried about. Heck, I've got hair growing out of my EARS!!!! Now THAT's weird!
I always wondered why when we grow old our hair gets confused....with men it leaves the head and heads for the ears and nose. For women it leaves the head and heads for a mustache and beard..
And most Republican voters see that, which is why Paul never garners more than a small percentage of the primary vote.
He needs to run in the Libertarian primary.../sarc
I’m not a nut - and agree with maybe 60% of what he stands for - but the 60% he stands for is so important to correct in our nation - that i support him for POTUS.
Freedom - Fiscal Responsibility - End the Fed
Sigh.....and what are you gonna do about him cutting our military down to the size of Guatemala's? A whole lot of good the rest of his agenda will do, when our enemies can finally overwhelm us militarily.
Do you have a calculator handy? Until and unless we chop 43% of govt, we are in deficit. Tell me how we make that up?
everything needs to be cut or we will be like Greece and Portugal very soon. We can’t afford a global force for peace anymore. We are broke.
I'll take "Questions Which Answer Themselves" for $500, Alex."
Because he’s a libertarian. GlocktheVote said he supported RP because of RP’s stand on “domestic issues” and “civil rights”. Code words for dope, porn, prostitution and faggot “rights”. “Civil rights” can only mean faggotry, since blacks can sit in the front of the bus and women can vote.
