Too many of us are bellying up to the trough.
Libertarians make two fatal errors in judgment and they set themselves upon the chopping block.
Fatal Error # 1 - They fail to comprehend that liberal social policies cause liberal social spending, which causes the never ending growth of a nanny state. They hate the growth and the spending, but support the policies that cause it all.
Fatal error # 2 - They think that the rules of international engagement established in 1776 will still protect and defend America in 2008. In 1776, army’s moved into position by clipper ship and horse drawn carriage, they marched in lockstep wearing bright red uniforms carrying single shot muskets and their nations flag. In 2007, they wear no uniform, carry no flag, scatter in the shadows and can take out an entire city and millions of civilians before anyone can see them coming.
Foolish is as foolish does...
Ron Paul and his supporters are following the lead of Kennedy, Sheehan and Fonda, not the founders.
Those of us who know better have an obligation to call a spade a spade...
