...he has a childishly ignorant view of America’s role in the world and the threat we face overseas.

Our role is our choice. The threat we face is there because we are there. The Saudis run our Mideast policy, where most of the action is. Afghanistan will always be what it is. A coalition of global corporatists and global socialists dominates our foreign policy, and the world resents having our socialist views forced on them. While we look the other way, our wallets are being bled dry for these boondoggles. Consider $31b in Africa for AIDS. It's really not the nation's money to give. You know, Davy Crockett's line. Why are we patrolling violent streets in third world countries when we have our own problems on our southern border? There's just no real pay off for all this except somewhat better access to oil.

We cannot confront and defeat terrorism by surrendering, or by blaming ourselves in some self-loathing manner for our economic and military interaction with the Middle East, nor can we increase our national security by pretending that our only challenge or responsibility is within our own borders.

The whole 'blame' America attack on Ron Paul is beside the point. He isn't interested in casting blame. He's talking about natural forces. As I've said before, Americans are not ever going to use enough force to destroy the causes of terrorism. You know that as well as I do. You know the leadership is either too big-hearted, or too weak. What's the alternative? There has to be a way. What's more, the real threat to our freedom is the cultural takeover of America via illegal immigration and socialized education, and our loss of the rule of law. The Constitution is in tatters. The Bill of Rights is dead, at least on paper. These are the real dangers to our freedom. They're very close to home. We have an open border for a reason. That reason is tyranny, in no uncertain terms. I could tolerate what's going on overseas if I thought it did some good. But all the while our biggest issue is ignored. No way, no how can this go on.

\u201cSo you agree that we should stick to the Constitution.\u201d I said that the Constitution should be amended, when necessary, rather then ignored. What\u2019s wrong with Ron Paul is that he has a childishly ignorant view of America\u2019s role in the world and the threat we face overseas. We cannot confront and defeat terrorism by surrendering, or by blaming ourselves in some self-loathing manner for our economic and military interaction with the Middle East, nor can we increase our national security by pretending that our only challenge or responsibility is within our own borders. All of RP\u2019s other positions...many of them very good...are no more valuable than a fart in the bathtub if we don\u2019t survive as a nation. The man is unfit for the White House

Fine if you don't like him, but he's the only one talking about ending welfare for illegal aliens, abolishing the Federal Reserve, and eliminating the massive legal attacks on our Constitution that we've permitted over the past 15 years.

When you get your priorities right, when you truly understand how our country is actually being destroyed right now, and actually cannot survive present monetary and legal policy as it stands, Ron Paul does not look so bad. He starts looking great when you realize that he's not in the back pockets of the people currently in power behind the scenes. You know, the ones destroying our country from the inside out.
