I find it interesting that you claim not to be hostile since you and some of your friends are quite hostile and troll-like on every Ron Paul thread.
However, I can explain it with ease. If you are a Ron Paul supporter mainly because of his opposition to Iraq, then you'll only like Paul among the Republicans and also find yourself supporting some of the Dems. That's not me or, I suspect, most of the FReeper Ron Paul supporters.
On the other hand, if you like Paul mainly because of his opposition to big government, the North American Union, the CFR, ect. (that's where I'm coming from) - then you'll like Paul, Tancredo, and Hunter - pretty much in that order. The other Republicans running are a bunch of big government, globalist CFR members.
Democratic candidates - big government socialists, who are also CFR one worlders, are even more repulsive. But from where I stand - there isn't much difference between Clinton/Obama and Rudy McThomney - either way, kiss American sovereignty good-bye.
Did that answer your question?
He was just asking, don't make anything of it.
As you may recall, Bush ‘41 essentially went to sleep for 10 months — letting his COS essentially try to run th nation.
From my perspective, I let my emotions get way ahead of political reality.
Regardless of Paul’s Libertarian appeal to our more pristine conservative principles, functioning democracy requires effective leadership to wallow in the nastiness of the vast wretched swamp called Political Reality — the huge grey middle ground that embodies any real semblance of functioning democratic government!
We are in a global war for the survival of Western Democracy — and a way of life that our fore-bearers gave blood and treasure for (including my father) !
I submit that we serious Republicans would do well to remember this lesson.
Paul is irrelevant in the scheme of credible political discourse. He represents a very intellectually flawed fringe of the party that would rather go down with the Good Ship Principle — than swim for a lifeboat — to fight another day -- for the overall welfare (and ultimate survival) of our Republic.
Rant over, but this is serious stuff, folks.
“The other Republicans running are a bunch of big government, globalist CFR members.”
“Democratic candidates - big government socialists, who are also CFR one worlders, are even more repulsive. But from where I stand - there isn’t much difference between Clinton/Obama and Rudy McThomney - either way, kiss American sovereignty good-bye.”
Bears repeating.
One day people will come to realize the forces that actually control from behind the scenes.
