Ron Paul once again demonstrates 18th century logic in the 21st century.
His arguments would be acceptable if there were no such thing as strategic nuclear missiles or bio-weapons.
If a stopped clock is right twice a day, does that mean you should live you life by it?
Sure, and his arguments about government intervention in the financial sector would be acceptable if there were no such things as collateralized debt obligations or credit default swaps.
Oh, and I forgot, the Second Amendment is also a product of "eighteenth century logic."
So that's what Obama's going to use on us? I thought he was just going to destroy us from within with socialism.
His arguments would be acceptable if there were no such thing as strategic nuclear missiles or bio-weapons.
Then tell me, if this is the reason why we should intervene on every other country on earth, why did we not intervene and march on Russia, China and a number of other countries that have nuclear weapons?
Moving forward, I suggest that we as Americans adhere to these five principles:
1. We do not abdicate American sovereignty to global institutions...
WHAT? You rabid isolationist, you! We have a "New World Order" agenda to implement!
2. We provide a strong national defense, but we do not police the world...
Don't you know it's America's job to spread 'democracy' throughout the world?
3. We obey the Constitution and follow the rule of law...
That document was written over 200 years ago by a buch of dead white men, so it hardly has much of a meaning in our modern age....besides, interpreting it correctly is kinda like what deciphering the meaning of the word "is" is.
4. We do not engage in nation-building...
Hey, I (GWB) had to say that while I was out campaigning; after all, if we don't nation-build, who will?
5. We stay out of the internal affairs of other nations...
But...but...remember Colin Powell saying that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Now he wouldn't lie!
He is right, by the strategic standards present in the age of sail...
