If you like some of Dr Paul’s ideas, why did you post a thread with such a nasty title?
Your screen name is “neverdem”... well, the Dems over on “Democratic Underwear” are all rejoicing today at Al Gore’s trifecta - - Oscar, Emmy and Nobel and here you are on FR sliming the cleanest and best of all the GOP candidates! Ironic timing. Sad, too...
Just my humble opinion; no offense intended.
I always thought RP was kind of cute, perhaps a bit kooky, but he said things about a lot of issues that I liked.
That being said, watching him talk about the war against Islamo-fascism is painful. He has blamed the US for "them" hating us, he has no understanding that this Islamist movement is trans national, very real, and very determined to enslave everyone else to their ideology with force. In an age of nuclear, biological, and other weapons that they desire to inflict pain on the world, his views are really naive at best.
Considering the Islamists have already killed several thousand of our citizens on 9/11, likewise killed significant numbers in disparate places such as Spain, England, Bali, and virtually everywhere they can kill innocents in the world, I find RP's pronouncements no longer cute, but seriously stupid and dangerous.
His statements in regard to the Islamist war are straight out of the DU, KOS, and Soros playbook, and that ought to make any libertarian or conservative at least pause to consider who they are really supporting here.......
I can't help titles.

I think Dr. Paul's foreign policy prescriptions are willfully blind.
