As much as I can proscribe to Ron Paul’s fiscal and monetary policies, he’s off the reservation when it comes to our national security and sovereignty. Here’s a snippet from an interview wherein Paul says DEMOCRATS WOULD DO A BETTER JOB at investigatory oversight and lends further credence to the 9/11 “truthers.”
[From Michelle Malkin regarding Paul in which he stated Democrats would do a better job with investigatory oversight and further lending credence to the 9/11 truther movement and the “America had it coming” crowd:]
“CALLER: I want a complete, impartial, and totally independent investigation of the events of September 11, 2001 . I’m tired of this bogus garbage about terrorism. Ask Michael Meacher about how he feels about this bogus war on terrorism. Can you comment on that please?
HON. DR. RON PAUL: Well, that would be nice to have. Unfortunately, we don’t have that in place. It will be a little bit better now with the Democrats now in charge of oversight. But you know, for top level policy there’s not a whole lot of difference between the two policies so a real investigation isn’t going to happen. But I think we have to keep pushing for it. And like you and others, we see the investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on.”
Economic libertarianism is a wonderful thing because free market capitalism creates wealth. But political libertarianism starts to look like anarchy. We unquestionably need dramatically less government. Ron Paul brings that to the table. But it’s hard to get around some of his goofy ideas, like America’s to blame for 911 and there’s no war on terrorists. Well, the Islamofacist have certainly declared their jihad on us!
Ron, get your head out of the sand.
Why is a Ronald Reagan type so hard to come by?
