“I believe that his ideas on defense will get a hell of a lot of innocent Americans killed.
What do you believe are his ideas on defense?
BTW, our present ideas on defense are doing a pretty good job of getting Americans killed.

Now I wonder if the casual reader can see the intellectual dishonesty in what you did there.
“What do you believe are his ideas on defense?”
He wants to withdraw the United States from the world militarily. This is a point that while I WANT to agree with him on it...I cannot. Look at the history of the U.S. foreign policy prior to WW2. After WW1 we tried to do just that, withdraw. Had we been more forceful in the world in the 20’s and 30’s the second world war may not have been necessary.
Furthermore; he would not launch a pre-emptive attack upon an enemy that intel showed was clearly plotting an attack on the U.S. homeland. I believe that he would fight back afterwards, but even that would be more like a police action than a war. He’s very weak on defense, and frankly a lot of his supporters know it but they, being basically liberal except on financial issues don’t care.
There really IS evil in the world my FRiend, wether or not libertarians want to admit it.
