Did they bring back the draft while I was asleep last night? If not, why do college students care about us being in the Middle East? No one is forcing them into uniform.

The only people that support this nut job are fellow nut jobs.

Not that we’d ever want their lazy millenial asses in uniform.

I don't think it's just a fear of being drafted. I think more and more people are beginning to question our foreign policy, and the wisdom and morality of being in perpetual war, especially when we are trillions in debt.

Maybe they read George Washington’s Farewell Address.

Anyone who can do even minimal mathematical reckoning can see that either we take Paul’s view of military adventurism, or it will be forced upon us soon enough.

We’re broke. Full stop. Period.

I think younger people are waking up faster now, seeing as how many of them are getting a rude awakening to how a) their economic prospects are increasingly dim (with high youth unemployment as older workers stay in their jobs or the jobs simply dry up), and b) lots of them are in deep debt due to student loans that they cannot discharge in bankruptcy. Many kids are on the leading edge of the US debt implosion... they’re the first to experience the debt avalanche.

So when Paul comes along and says that he’s going to bring troops home, cut off all foreign aid and slash over a trillion bucks of spending out of the budget.... that starts sounding like savage common sense to many young people.

He wants to take the US from the world’s policeman to the world’s catamite. He’s so dumb he thinks the founding Fathers never protected US interests in the world and didn’t believe in stopping our enemies.

Paul isn’t a Republican or a Conservative; he’s his own weird brand of dumbed down Ayn Rand libertarianism with a Henry Wallace/George McGovern foreign policy. His biggest appeal is to pot heads, conspiracy nuts, anti-establishment loons, and America haters. His policies on spending are a welcome relief, but his constant defending of those who attack America, like he did with bin Laden, prove he’s a fool or a tool. His newsletter and its racist gibberish further show he’s completely willing to associate with unsavory kooks. His praise of the little creepy spy who is on trial for treason prove beyond a doubt that Run Paul is indifferent to the security of the American people.

Ron Paul accused our troops in the Gulf War of atrocities.

Ron Paul blamed US foreign policy for the deaths of 3000 Americans on 9/11

Ron Paul praised Bradley Manning for stealing secrets.

Ron Paul attacks Republicans far more than he attacks President Obama

Ron Paul is an evil fraud.
