Ron Paul Explains Why He Sounds Just Like Dennis Kucinich

Where have all the paulistinas gone?

I have actually heard the more leftist callers on AirAmerica suggest Ron Paul team up with Dennis Kucinich and run as a third party. No question which party that would hurt more.

Try playing that strategy in the game of RISK

My favorite board game :) I have taught my children many a lesson playing it.

Offense, defense, patience, and most importantly long term strategy

Maybe the pin heads in the State Dept should be required to play it once a month to keep their heads half way screwed on right

Oh well. If we didn't cut and run from getting bin Laden dead or alive, we would not be in Iraq doing the cakewalk.

Both your statements here are factually incorrect.

Defense wins football games. But this isn’t football. :-D

The founders were aware of the almost constant war in the eastern hemisphere and did not want us to get involved in those wars. We also tried to keep that type of culture out of the western hemisphere via the Monroe doctrine.

Other than the US, there is no country in the western hemisphere that could pose a significant military threat to any of its neighbors. Well, maybe Brazil.

There is no country in the world, outside of Russia, that poses a significant threat to the US. Even Russia is not a threat to invade the US. Let the Eastern hemisphere keep on fighting their wars, but we don’t need to be part of them.

Just because Ron Paul is an idiot, doesn’t mean Bush isn’t one too. We have an Islamic republic in Afghanistan, too, not just Iraq. And he’s taking the side of the Turks - even though their usefulness to us ended when the Berlin Wall came down, and have complicated our effort in Iraq - against Christian Armenians. Every chance he gets, Bush sides with illegals against Americans, and with Moslems against Christian. I’m done with him.

*****Try playing that strategy in the game of RISK. Accumulate an obscene amount of armies, then retreat to North America and just stay there playing defense. Try it. It was one of my favorite lessons for other students in college when we’d stay up late with board games.*****

Actually playing Risk, the person that controlled Australia was the major player in the game as it could only be attacked from one country. In order to make things fairer, we changed the rules so that Australia could be attacked from some African nation.

But if you want to put it on the Risk level, the person that controlled Australia was a favorite to win the game. Rarely would anyone control any other place except maybe S. America.

In the Risk game sense, we should withdraw from the rest of the world and make our internal defenses the best they can be. Who is going to attack us when we have massive armies and navies ready to go out and wipe them out?

Well then this discussion is going circular, because in making my analogy, I was pointing out that's the WORTS thing you can do. It's what that nut Ron Paul wants. 'nough said.

[Calvin Locke]

Paul’s wife already has her tongue pierced, too?

Hold on a second, you are basing your views of America's role in world politics on a board game? And Ron Paul is a wacko?

[Jim W N]

I don’t think interventionism (invading countries so they can become democratic) and isolationism are our only choices. George Bush’s invasion of Iraq was ill-conceived “interventionism”. Reagan’s negotiate-but-verify and intelligence priorities along with covert operations to help people within their own countries gain freedom - these are the things we should be doing.

Why the creation or the defense of an Islamic Republic...

Exactly, and it refutes Paul's claims about neo-colonialism. What we really need--if we really want to fight an international war on terror--is a neocolonial approach--bring in the missionaries and the homestead act in Iraq. Destroy their temples, just like Cortez destroyed the temples of the blood-thirsty Aztecs. Short of moral clarity (the west is superior to the east), we shouldn't be fighting abstract wars on "terror." We should be fighting wars against Islam.

Ron Paul reminds me of a janitor in my old middle school.
I hated middle school. RP is a nobody in my book.

‘There is no country in the world, outside of Russia, that poses a significant threat to the US.’

All information regarding nuclear weapon proliferation to the contrary, huh?

Sheesh.
