He will also be remembered for associating with lunatic political fringe groups and individuals.
Centrist authoritarians like John McCain and leftist authoritarians like Clinton and Obama are going to take away what little of my liberty that still remains. If it continues, at some point this country will not be worth defending.
If Ron Paul is the fringe and liberals like the GOP has served up for us this year are the ‘mainstream’, then I proudly stand with the fringe.
I really wonder about the agenda of individuals who save their worst condemnations for the one guy who actually adheres to his oath to defend the Constitution. In particular, I wonder if they have any place in the right-wing coalition, or whether it is imperative that we eject such people with haste, fervor, and no ceremony.
Your kind is to blame for the McCain fiasco, and I hope when the Democrats win, you get to take it up the shorts day after day, year after year. Your endless slander of a good man is only the outbound of a karmic round trip.
I was going to post the same comments almost exactly.
His legacy will be truthers, apologists and isolationism.
Unlike the current foreign policy, where we borrow $10 billion from China to give it to a military dictator Musharraf in Pakistan, who overthrew the elected government there, while paying with the lives of thousands of young American men, and borrow another trillion in order to promote democracy in Iraq. Yeah, I think I get it now.
Besides, as the man said, whatever you believe about the merits of the present foreign policy, we can't afford it any more. Printing dollars and borrowing to pay for it is coming to an end. The government obligations are about 65 trillion dollars, which makes every American man, woman and child $216k in the hole. Way to go. Only one presidential candidate is telling the truth and suggesting how to deal with it. If you don't know it yet, the economy and the markets will tell you the same by this fall.
You have no idea how many retired military officers support the libertarian position. That is, after all, what we thought we pledged our lives and sacred honor for.
If you think that military personnel defend the way the Iraq war was conducted by the neo-cons, you are dead to nuts out of your frekin' mind. The absolute lack of a strategy of the now out of power neo-cons past the trivial boot-sadam-out problem has killed many thousands of honorable servicemen and women. There is no excuse for going to war without a strategy. It was utterly indefensible, and the Feith's and Wolfowitzes of this world are going to live in a deserved ignominy for 1000 years.
No Ron Paul's position is not suicidal.
Oh? Have you read his book?
Now why did I know you haven't?
For those of you who might actually WANT to know his foreign policy, he has written a book: A Foreign Policy of Freedom
