Because that wouldn't be "intervention." No, sirree.
Yeah. That's what I say. So get him the holy yell outta the way.
When big toes in DC start getting stepped on the messenger or his method of communication becomes the target. There is a sect within the GOP which has been for decades trying to destroy conservatism within the party. Quite a few conservative voices were silenced such as National Empowerment Television.
Most important topic for a president, for ALL of us is restoring the Constitution. If we shred the Constitution and its limits on government, won’t matter one whit which group of terrorists wins, fedgov or the muzzies: WE, the People, LOSE. We lose our freedom and our Constitutional Republic.
On the other hand, restore the Constitution and the war on terrorists will take care of itself. Without that, we are so screwed.
Nation building is NOT EVER a legitimate or constitutional objective for fedgov. Period.
You realize that Rep. Paul, almost immediately brought forth a bill of Marque and Reprisal that would have allowed anyone in the world to track down and kill the Al Qaeda and Taliban officer corps, for a just reward from the US Treasury?
Google “Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001”
Ron Paul took this action in almost exact fashion as Jefferson’s allies did in the year before Jefferson and Congress declared war on the Barbary pirates?
You obviously have a bigger mouth than understanding of the history of USA-Muslim relations. That you think that of Jefferson is comical really.
Well look there are obviously two factions fighting for dominance within the larger Republican Party. You have the faction of paleo-conservatives that consist of strict constructionists and classical liberals, and then you have the neo-conservatives that push interventionism, strong centralized consolidated government, the new world order, globalism. Does the latter even belong in the “Republican” Party or are they interlopers and infiltrators from the left, or not the left but some extra spoke on the wheel we haven’t discovered yet? I say they are infiltrators from somewhere taking advantage (undeservedly) of the reputation real republicans built up over years, hence the prefix neo or new. And this new faction is the one attempting to eliminate Paul; not the whole party, not the faction of paleo-conservatives. Neo conservatives would be happy if all paleos, not just Paul, disappeared forever. Paleo Conservatives need to say to the “new” guys “get out” and go back to the left fringe where you belong, or whatever rock you came out from under. Shrink the republican party of its leftist/undefined element and you will mysteriously simultaneously grow it as the true right feels welcome here again and returns from libertarian and constitution party fringes, displacing those neos now gone. Then there will be no need for separate “neo” or new, and “paleo” or old conservative designations, it will be just “conservative” because the leftist faction was simply ejected;...as they never should have been admitted in the first place. IMHO. Then the republican party would properly be a home to people like Paul, rather than him, and the rest of us, feeling like a guest in his/our own house.
I meant to say, "This new faction, not the whole party, and not the faction of paleoconservatives, is the one attempting to eliminate Paul."
A little less awkward this way.
That's true of the much-talked-about statement in the debate, but Paul has elsewhere stated that the official line on 9/11 has been mostly a cover-up.
At any rate, it was very informative. Thanks again.
.............Rosie O'Donnell and Michael Moore would be more fitting.
That is a GOOD plan. Stick with what you know about.
Naaaaw. Ya think? True conservatism is dead. Fascism (patriotic statism, the definition of the word) has strangled it in its sleep, because the sleeper is increasingly stupid, uninformed, substituting cant for thought, emotion for reason, and willing to surrender any pretense of liberty for someone who will protect us against the dreaded Saracens. Started not to use that last word because probably 80 per cent of the screeching anti Ron Paul vaderites don't even know what it is, but then again, it kinda makes the point.
Yep. 1400 years and counting.......
Nice to know we are at least joining something with a heritage.
The good Dr. is indeed getting smeared. But why wouldn’t he? He stands for everything this country desperatley craves. We are well on our way to complete and total border eradication, mandatory acceptance of the sickening sodomites due to unconstitutional bills, the enactment of a completly and totally un-american national ID which I will not be participating in, the NAU which is well on its way to fruition, (yeah I know that is merely a conspiracy and that our Lord and Saviour Bush would never do such a thing blah blah blah) and getting out of a completely unnecessary war trying to bring “democracy” aka socialism to a bunch of satanic muslims.
I am sick and tired of the of the bull crap. The Republican party has been completely hijacked by the neo-con warmongers who could give a rats behind about the sovereignty of this great country. Heck we went to war because Iraq was violating UN resolutions. The last time I checked the UN had absolutely nothing to do with america besides being completly and totally an un-constitutional irrelevant governing body full of despots and perverts.
Now we have a GOP bent on barring the good Dr. from the debates. Denying free speech is something the left would do, not the so called conservative party. I am afraid this party is going down crapper and will stay down for years to come.
In MY book, someone who is so stupid to take what Ron Paul said and twist it into a statement that he thinks the U.S.'s actions caused 9-11 is the turd and nutbag. Have you actually READ what he says on it, or are you just quoting Sean Hannity at this point?
Wait a minute. Never mind. Forgot who I was talking to for a second. You don't need to bother to answer that one. We already know the answer.
If you go to pet a feral dog and he bites you, did you do anything to cause that? Are you "morally culpable"?
