So? How many were carried out in the U.S. before 9/11?
How many people have al Qaeda been responsible for killing before 9/11 and then after 9/11?
If Paul had been president, we never would have invaded Iraq and it would now be a major base for bin laden.
And you know this because . . . ? That doesn't follow since Iraq was not a major base for bin Ladin before 9/11. There's no reason to suppose that it would have become one after 9/11.
Paul would have relied on privateers to go after bin laden . . .
You mean privateers like the ones we are currently using from Blackwater, Inc.?
I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that one or more of our major cities would have been nuked by now if things had been left in the hands of a president Paul.
I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say you have been scared witless by a group of people that make the Amish look technologically advanced.
LOL. So let's see if I got this straight. I purchase tea. I, and a group of other like minded individuals (not a small group mind you), choose to re-enact a famous historical event because we feel the nation is do a 'revolution' from the two party political system that has not only failed us but the vision of the Framers. And we're criminals and now possibly even 'terrorists' (although I can't see how even the most delusional individual could come up with that).
I was wrong, you wouldn't have made a good Tory. I don't think even they were that much of a tool. So much for the intent of the First Amendment. I suppose you think it only applies if one supports the government...
Heh, maybe they can coin a new term, “tearrorists.”
It’s amazing how many statists are running around trying to sound conservative these days.
All you have to do is visit a local Ron Paul meetup group of the over 1000 that exist across the land to see the great diversity of people attending for just as many different reasons to support Dr. Paul. And they are there not merely for the man, but for the cause. The cause is a humble moving of Americans in the classic sense of independence and liberty. The average American knows the country is sick and has lost its liberty, virtue, and reputation, and has been sold out to the highest bidder. The average American feels that these are desperate times and that there is need for fundamental change. What Dr. Paul has done is to remind us of history—remind us of our great heritage.

Amen.
Like what-bombing them?
When are you guys going to realize that the United States is not omnipotent?
Exactly!
Tory-another name for neo-con.
I think Ron Paul will handle Defense the way it ought to be handled, by defending the United States and not having our forces scattered in over 100 nations.
Let each region deal with their own problems and let the United States protect its own vital interests instead of thinking it can dictate to every region in the world-it cannot.
We should be building a missle defense system for this nation, not NATO.
We need to secure our own borders, not the borders of other nations.
Ron Paul's view of defense would leave the United States stronger, not weaker.
Care to be more specific?
How is a vote for constitutional government a vote against America?
In case the anti-withdrawel guys haven't noticed, Bush has started to withdraw troops.
I guess he must be 'cut and running'.
And which of the 'business as usual' GOP candidates are you supporting?
And that is what we are attempting to do, so what is your beef?
Amen!
The terrorist's goal is to spread fear, and judging by many of the posts, they have succceded very well.
They worry about terrorist attacks, but it was the failures of the U.S. government that allowed 9/11 to happen in the first place, since most of those terrorists were wandering around the country with expired student visas.
Nor, have these failures been dealt with.
Our borders have not been secured.
Our pilots are still not armed.
