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.

Uh no it hasn’t. The first time the whole military supports Paul nonsense article came out, I personally went page to page through his donor list and pulled out 25 I think it was who had some type of military affiliation.
The Active Duty military does not support Ron Paul. You will learn that soon enough when he fails to get the nomination.
There you go again, twisting what someone says.
Nothing like making military or political decisions by letting one’s vanity displace sound military thinking.
So by all means, lets think like adolescents by making political and military decisions based on whether we look like “chickensh*ts” or not.”
Oh boy another armchair general trying to compare WW2 with the war on terror.
Funny that you mention vanity displacing sound military thinking, because that’s EXACTLY what ron paul wants to do with his wish to once again treat terrorism as a law enforcement matter as opposed to the military matter that it is.
ron paul has not learned from past mistakes such as the cut and run from Somalia (which only served to embolden the terrorists who saw us as a paper tiger who could easily be defeated by bloodying our nose) or the treatment of terrorism as a law enforcement issue which allowed it to grow unchallenged for nearly a decade.
He claims that it’s our foreign policies that created terrorism, well then if that’s the case that means that he would have been opposed to what Thomas Jefferson did to the Barbary Pirates since the muslims still hold that against us too. That only reinforces the notion that paul is an isolationist
Why do Ron Paul supporters claim to be Republicans or Conservatives instead of Libertarians?
Why are they ashamed to be Libertarians?
no - I am not. Your words are clear. And unlike you, I don’t fnd it necessary to ping others for reinforcement.
I’m done here with this nonsense.

You must be an expert in the Muslim religion to know this. Where have you learned so much about it--have you a Ph.d in Eastern Religions?
No. I just did the same as Thomas Jefferson and reached the same conclusion he did - I read their holy books.
Who wouldn’t be ashamed to be connected to those 2 sleazy looking guys with the worn out card table. They set up out side of polling places and the court house and then try to lure you over to read their literature and listen to their crazy talk. Those guys are libertarians and my daddy warned me about them. Paul tried hooking up with them and it got him nowhere.
Pack of lies?
Like I said, I have formed my opinion of your massah based on HIS voting record, HIS writings, HIS speeches and interviews, as well as information posted on sites that SUPPORT HIM.
They are only “lies” to you because you can not refute the TRUTH about paul. You are so caught up with the sunshine he’s blown up your fifth point of contact that you can not see that he’s playing you sheeple like a fiddle.
You people are so infatuated by his BS that you’re all acting like the little kiddies being led off to your own demise by the Pied Piper and unfortunately all of you are willing to take the rest of us down with you.
“The panic Paul inspires here, is making a Paul believer out of me.”
How about it. I have done my own research instead of reading a bunch of negative posts. I have found that a whole bunch of the anti-Paul articles and rhetoric are straight from DUmmieland.
“The earmarks thing is a conundrum but I cannot fault Ron Paul for that.”
Nice spin.
He bitches about pork spending, whines that it’s unconstitutional but it’s OK by you if he does it anyways?
All the rest I said is based on what your massah said.
No more so than walking down a dark alley at night with hundred dollar bills sticking out of your pocket creates muggings.
that means that he would have been opposed to what Thomas Jefferson did to the Barbary Pirates
Jefferson was acting against pirates, not terrorists.
The motive of those pirates was financial gain.
The motive of terrorists seems ideological.
Finally, modern technology makes the struggle to minimize terror far more complex than minimizing piracy two centuries ago.
I could read books about string theory.
But that wouldn't qualify me to be a physicist.
So you apparently have no qualifications to back up your statements concerning the Muslim religion.
“The panic Paul inspires here, is making a Paul believer out of me.”
I havn’t seen anything that remotely resembles “panic” here.
But if poking holes in his nutty world view and poking fun at the brainwashed sheeple that support him is panic to you then you need to stop living a sheltered life.
And save the “he’s making a believer out of me” BS for the gullible and uninformed masses that the village idiot preys upon.
“It’s a bunch of unfounded accusation which have been debunked several times.”
Debunked where?
“If it’s a fact, it’s a fact.*”
*Unless it’s what he said, or his voting record and then it’s a lie.
Your little mouse is the host organism carrying a handful of diseases, including goldbuggery, isolationism, "Blame-America-First" psychosis and cultish idolatry.
The desire to crush it is entirely prudent and wise.
But if poking holes in his nutty world view and poking fun at the brainwashed sheeple
"nutty world view"?
"brainwashed sheeple"?
Such comments seem more the product of overwrought emotion (e.g., panic), than of calm and reasoned reflection.
