Ron Paul: Terrorists are just "hoodlums and convicts" (America is to blame alert)

Terrorists `Just Hoodlums’

The greatest threat to the nation, Paul said, is an overextension of the U.S. military and ``involvement in places we shouldn’t be.’’ Terrorism shouldn’t be fought by waging war on nations, he said. Terrorists are ``just hoodlums and convicts, so to speak, but we incite them with our foreign policy,’’ he said.

ron paul is for the weak minded useful idiots and the moles.

He was always a sacrificial anode in order to “claim” surrender is popular in the polls.

The dinosaur media is far from dead. 2006 proved that.

Even the record sales yesterday, for example, will NOT be good news for the DBM. It is 1992 and 1996 redux.

Republicans are not searching for Ronald Reagan, they are being manipulated to bob dole’s successor.

"What part of Pro-Life, Pro-Gun Rights, Small Government, Pro-Constitution, anti-Illegal Immigration, Low-Taxes, America-First, etc., do you find not Conservative?"

You just described my 80 year old senile aunt.

Aunt Bess for President!

Calling me a Paul -o-phobe indicates that I fear Ron Paul. Not unless he morphs into Perot do I fear him, and even then, it is hillary I fear not Paul. Will you vote for him if he does that? Will you be responsible for giving us clinton II?

[What the heck do some “conservatives” see in him???
He is scary stupid.]

The far right loves him because they don’t know how far left he is , but I and other true conservatives with conservative values know who he is and that explains his lack of consideration with conservative moral values.

“...if you find letters of marque so laughable?”

Please explain why LOM are not ‘laughable’. Exactly what is a LOM, how would they work, why would they be effective, what is the current status of LOM in international law, etc,? If you think they are such a great idea, then those questions should be easy.

Both Clinton’s believe terrorism is a police issue.

Kerry believes terrorism is a police issue.

algore believes terrorism is an environmental control issue that can be solved by new taxes.

The left believes they can control by police power.

This fits with kookpaul’s useful idiot platform.

"You have no clue what Texans think. You are unworthy to even pontificate on what Texans should do. Stop Ron Paul? WHY???? Let's stop you instead."

What the he!! kind of post was that? How do you know what I know or don't know about Texas? Were you drunk at 4am, RON PAUL fan?

Only if greedy Conservatives would let Liberals have the government give the chilruns the money to build them.

Even more basic is the question, "if the Constitution is so laughable in its present form, then why do we not amend it to what we want it to be, rather than ignore it at times?"

Then we can discuss specifics.

Your posts show that you do not know anything about Texas or Ron Paul and why they are perfectly suited for one another.

Oh yeah, that Constitution is so far left! </sarc>

[...]but I and other true conservatives with conservative values know who he is [...]

Yeah, I've heard about you "True Believers."

As I asked above, what part of Pro-Life, Pro-Gun Rights, Small Government, Pro-Constitution, anti-Illegal Immigration, America-First, Low-Taxes, etc., do you find not Conservative?

I don’t know if I would vote for Ron Paul if he went third party or not. I realize the risks. But these stupid and incessant personal attacks on Ron Paul makes me WANT TO SO BAD I CAN TASTE IT.

LOL, I know! I have spoken with more than one person who has looked into Ron Paul MORE because of the personal attacks--and now support him!

One woman told me something like, "I figured that if all they could do is call names, then they must be scared he's right!"

“Even more basic is the question, “if the Constitution is so laughable in its present form, then why do we not amend it to what we want it to be, rather than ignore it at times?””

Ok, what part of the Constitution has been “ignored at times”?

It was an act of war which should be responded to in kind.

As an act of war, then what's wrong with a Declaration of War, making Congress put its mouth where its money is?

I also would like to go back to the Constitution...or if we decide it's obsolete, then amend it. But every time we just ignore it, it breaks down one of our strongest defenses.

For example...remember that the Constitution is designed to help buffer power blocs to prevent them from overwhelming the minority blocs. If people are worried about Islamism gaining ground here, then there should be support for a strong Constitution that limits their power.

But perhaps I'm looking too "big picture"...most people don't seem to care about the long-term.

It is more accurate to say that what the Ron Paul haters are doing is cutting off America's nose to spite their faces.

Why can't they just ignore him or oppose his views instead of the vicious personal attacks and lies? Why not support and build up their chosen candidate instead of trying to tear another one down?

“what part of Pro-Life,”

Funny that you call the village idiot pro-life when he votes in favor of allowing minors to cross state lines to get abortions without any sort of parental notification.

“Pro-Gun Rights,”

Funny that you claim that he’s pro-gun rights when he has voted in favor of allowing frivilous lawsuits against gun owners and manufactures.

“Small Government,”

Oh yeah lets just get rid of the FAA, so all those planes fly around under no control, and have noone set standard guidelines for inspections of said aircraft. He also wants to do away with the FBI so that terrorists and criminals alike can roam state to state to elude authorities. He also wants to eliminate the CIA which happen to be our eyes and ears abroad. And based on his voting record and numerous statements he wants to return our military to the 1920’s levels where we’ll be slapping plywood cutouts to trucks to simulate the tanks and APC’s that we’ll no longer have.

“Pro-Constitution,”

He fails this by loading up on all that “unconstitutional” pork spending as well as voting against the military budget year after year after year.

“anti-Illegal Immigration,”

He hasn’t supported or introduced one bill that would fix the problem. Oh and his “smaller government” thing would also eliminate the border patrol.

“America-First,”

More like BLAME America first.

“Low-Taxes”

That may actually be the ONLY thing that may be true, but I bet that given the chance he’ll screw us over.
