That was before 9/11. I think even Reagan would have seen things differently watching the towers burn. It was no longer just a Middle Eastern problem.

The older folks in paleoPaulie’s entourage of love slaves chant in senior moments: “Hey, hey, LBJ! How many kids did you kill today?” or “The streets are for the people!” Or “The people united can never be defeated!” or spell America with a k as Amerika. The damage done by drugs in their now paleo-distant youth simply cannot be repaired.

People can imagine what they like and try to channel the Gipper. What we have is the record of his own words and actions.

“Ron Paul is no Ronald Reagan.”

He is a HELL of a lot closer than Bush or any of the idiots currently running.

alleging 400 people with most apparently from out of state.

(of course the number is padded) and of course they used the trick of using a smaller room to make it look “full”.

Nader gets the same kook fringe crowds and hardly any more viable. Kucinich gets the same crowds just to see his wife’s toung piercing... (ok a little sarcasm on the last one)

Ron Paul is just like all the other stuck-in-the-single-digiters, going nowhere fast and meaningless to the overall debate.

Oooooh, wow. 16 standing ovations!!!!! Obviously RP is qualified to be POTUS based on his ability (and those of his campaign) to put on a media event where all those who attended were invited and all those who are against RP not allowed to participate (the usually way these events are staged for the media).

It is like the old game show “to tell the truth”,

Each candidate says “I am Ronald Reagan” and we have to figure out which ones are lying in a field where ALL the declared candidates are obviously lying.

Nah, Reagan wasn't a cupcake who would have turned a blind eye to the threat of Islamicism. Ron is no where near being like Reagan.

No one can predict what Reagan would have said or done in the present situation. But his public remarks and recently published diaries don't give much support to the idea that he had much confidence in invasions, occupations, nationbuilding, etc. Especially in the Mideast.

You might be right. However, given what President Reagan's response to Libya was following the Pan Am bombing, I'd guess that President Reagan would have engaged this current enemy in much the same way as what we've done after 9/11/01.

Yes. We do. And the threat was communism. And he was not afraid to challenge them.

General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

I suppose Reagan was a globalist too?

Good words yes, but words from 20 plus years ago.

A lot has changed since then.

Ron Paul’s big problem is that his messages simply can’t be understood by human beings with IQ’s less than 100. And in these times, that’s about 80% of the electorate.

Insult those who don't agree with you--now there's a charitable and winning message.

Signed,

Just another idiot with a low IQ

Anyone can post his speech. He doesn’t copyright them.

He didn’t want to vote on the crap being proposed and passed by Congress, which above all gives credence to the UN and cedes more of our sovereignty, below that it gives power to the president usually reserved by congress and allows for for the politicization of the ‘war’ for elections if the war goes badly. I don’t doubt he would have voted against his own declaration of war against Iraq if it came to a vote.

It is true he didn’t want war but I feel his principles dictated to him that he proposes a Declaration of Wars a constitutional alternative to what was being passed. Congress ignored this. Said ‘Declarations of Wars are archaic’ and not needed anymore. (which is similar argument they use with most of the Constitution, especially with the 2nd amendment). Instead we got what we got.

You simply MUST understand that in paleowussyland, there are only paleoisolationist weenies and "globalists" or "internationalists."

In the world where normal people with MORE than two brain cells (and therefore not "paleos") live, isolationists are a minor and irrelevant nuisance and the struggle is between the "internationalist" types aka liberals who want to ask "Mother May I?" to the UN before each breath and those Americans who are conservative in foreign policy, want no part of the UN or other internationalist institutions, are American nationalists, patriots, interventionists (on our terms alone) and support a manly American sovereignty exercised whenever necessary or desirable against America's enemies.

"I would have supported the reforming of Germany and Japan but I was born in 1946. I supported the reforming of the USSR. I think removing Saddam was the best way to force a change in the middle east. That doesn’t make me a “globalist”,"

Your posting here illustrates your complicit attitude. How can you claim otherwise?

No, Ronald Reagan was the real thing. PaleoPaulie and his love slaves are phony”cons” and never more so than when they desecrate Ronald Reagan’s memory by suggesting that he would have any tolerance whatsoever for the collective cowardice of paleoPaulie and the paleos and Paulistinians.

"..Americans who are conservative in foreign policy, want no part of the UN.."

Q: Which U.S. Congressman was the author and lead sponsor of H.R. 1146, "The American Sovreignty Restoration act"? (Bill to END U.S. funding of the United Nations.)

Get back at me when you find the answer.

No, it's not a rhetorical question. The terrorist does fear something. If it's not death that they fear then it must be something else. Like, not entering paradise.

So once again, why don't they fear us? Could it be because we're not sewing terrorists into pigskin sacks, sinking them to the bottom of the sea, and posting the video on YouTube?
