Humblegunner, I respect you for your roots in American politics and culture.

But I have to say, you are out of touch with current economic reality. In the past we had the money to spend like there is no tomorrow on the military and we don’t have that anymore. Ron Paul was wacky in the past when we had the money; now you are wacky in the present reality when we have no money.

We permitted foreign countries and interests and globalists to use us for their military power for their own purposes. We could afford this globalist scheme in the past. We can not afford it now. We need to focus our self defense to protect the homeland with overwhelming force and let the foreigners defend themselves.

No, Ron Paul is still wacky. Looneytunes.

Ron Paul is a nutjob whether we're in good times or bad times.

Just ask Alex Jones. Or Cynthia McKinney. Or Adam Kokesh. Or any of those other folks he likes so much.

I'd agree with that, but current obligations are just that.. obligations.

He's still wacky. I'm not quite as wacky.

I cannot disagree with that.

I will say this:

My eldest son is in Afghanistan. Let's not stop sending him fuel and ammo, OK?
Just because some kook is trying to make political hay out of defunding the effort. OK?

I've pinged a couple of folks who know the boy and would rather not see him die for some kook's political gain.
