Total Lie.

The Founding Fathers sent an expeditionary force to fight the Barbary Pirates and fought an undeclared naval war with France.

They had NOTHING in common with the pathetically ignorant Neo Isolationist dogmas of the like of Ron Paul

[mnehring]

How about their invasion and siege of Montreal to prevent them from helping the British?

Spot on MNJohnnie. Spot on!

The Founding Fathers sent an expeditionary force to fight the Barbary Pirates and fought an undeclared naval war with France.

After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Congressman Paul, defining the attacks as an act of "air piracy", introduced the Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001, which would have granted Letters of Marque and Reprisal, as authorized by Article One, Section Eight of the U.S. Constitution, against the specific terrorists, instead of warring against a foreign state.[39] He has also reproposed this legislation recently under the new title of Marque and Reprisal Act of 2007.

POLITICAL POSITIONS OF PAUL

So in other words, Paul wanted to do exactly what Jefferson did then. Decommissioned or civilian special op forces and Blackwater types could have went after Al-Qaida and saved us a s--tload of time, money, and Rat/MSM hysterics.

No they didn't. The first american expeditionary force was in WWI, the first globalist war.

President Jefferson sent American ships into the Medditeranean after the Pasha of Tripoli declares WAR on us. That is a HUGE difference.
