If you are a citizen and not a sovereign, that is the case.
I am a citizen, and as such I served in Vietnam although I disagreed with the execution, and agreed with the goal and purpose. I still got to serve, on Johnson's terms.
I treasure the Constitution, and Ron Paul's right to cite it as much as I do.
However, I remain in the real world and demand that the nation survive in strength to enforce that very same Constitution.
Ron Paul will not recognize that there are malevolent entities that have, from their creation, the purpose of misdirecting America's strength to subjugate the world under their vision of a proper society.
None of these entities would honor the Constitution for others once they have gained power through the mis application of Constitutional rights.
All of these entities lie and claim that the US is at fault or the US started it, when their goal from creation was to prevent the US as a nation from defeating their planned usurpation.
I will not sit idly by while those that spew or conceal their hatred of America grow strong enough to kill my country, my Constitution and me.
No beer for you!
I disagree. I believe he would see our strength built up to resist just such forces. Again, he has voted for military force against terrorists, including places where they reside throughout the world. He would, it seems, rather act out of sense and constitutional principle than knee jerk emotion.
Do you think it wise for billions of our dollars to support Egypt and other middle eastern countries; to spread our military into hundreds of other countries for police work? I think such policies are defintiely worthy of question, to say the least.
Our policies and actions in other parts of the world do not take place without consequence any more than the policies and actions of other countries take place in our own land without consequence, Mexico being a case in point.
