Is it a burden to the American people to police the world? No doubt. Is it a crime to have the power to make the world better but instead choose the “not my job” approach?

We have no business polincing the world. As a matter of fact, there is no constitutional obligation for us to do so. In fact, the founders actually spoke very strongly against us acting in this manner. They also spoke against the US signing onto alliances.

Let’s face it. This isn’t 1776. Ron Paul would’ve made a wonderful President two hundred years ago.

Agreed.... And he would make a fine one today.

The problem is, oceans don’t protect us anymore.

Forget about oceans. We can't even control what comes across the Rio Grande river on our southern border.

Oh, yeah? But Iraq is going to have secure borders! We're sending over our BP to do the job. Isn't that good enough for all you whiners?
