That would not be a bad thing.
The world saving crusading the US has engaged in as front for the NE elites financial interests and cultural attitudes would not have happened or happened in a more muted fashion..."

By the way, we should take a moment to notice this entire anti-American diatribe sounds like something we could expect from the Cold War's Soviet Pravda, or from our socialist besotted Democrats today.
And yet we see it posted here by a presumed conservative.

Astonishing!

Is this what Ron-Rand Paul talk looks like when reduced to a Free Republic post?

Huge nations tend towards tyranny and imperialism. Smaller ones have more difficulty in those areas. The world saving activities of the US finally resulted in after 1945 in creating a real existential threat in the person of Stalin and his empire. Having a national policy of MYOB would have been much better. But financially connected elites have since the beginning of the Republic been determined to play the ‘giddy minds and foreign quarrels’ card as a smoke screen for their financial interests. The interests of the finance capital segment of the economy are not vital interests of the country. Of the government maybe but the government and the country are not conterminous in any way.

As far as Ron Paul is concerned he seems to be an idiot other than about some matters of finance and taxation. I suspect if a nuclear bomb were detonated on some American city he would denounce Americans and claim it was the fault of those attacked. That is a long way from working up a dithyram of fury over the torpedoing of the RMS Lusitania in British waters.

It did not pass without notice. This is the trap they find themselves in when attempting to defend the indefensible.

Wouldn’t wanna be ‘em.
