I’ve worked with a lot of young National Guard types. They all say paul is nukken futz. Just sayin”

The only people I know personally that support the goofy old man are old hippies and young retards.

That is amazing?!? My business is a TSP and hold a DPM contract for my local bases, which encompasses all 5 services and all GS's within 300 miles of my location. I speak to several hundred service members and their families weekly in the course of business. The glaring trend that I have recognized over the past ten years is the the GS's tend to be liberal leaning, but a majority of the service members I speak with are independants or indifferent. I hear A LOT of support for Paul, particularly from the enlisted ranks.

IMHO...

America is sliding off it's Christian foundation. This is a severe long-term problem for the military, especially the enlisted ranks, in being sure of the righteousness and value of a given war. A President who has the right foundational principles and can communicate them and set the whole of the military on a sure foundational footing enjoys wholehearted support from most citizens and service members. In the absence of such a President, one who is isolationist sounds more appealing than one who sounds adventurous. But this isolationism is, of course, a tempting falsehood, and any student of military history can't help but picture the clueless Chamberlain waving that stupid paper when they hear such talk.

Enlisted ranks are undoubtedly very turned off at the prospect of wars which appear more to do with protecting the interests of big business than securing American freedom. Of course, economic prosperity and freedom are inextricably intertwined, but this topic quickly gets too muddied for most people to confidently adopt an accurate perspective solely through their own ruminations.

This is why service members would do well for themselves to consider three other issues whilst contemplating the Republican primary field. First, a solid Christian candidate. Such a person is confined in the whole of their life by Scripture and is the only possibility for a military that is lead in obedience to it, the wellspring of Western morality. Second, a candidate who seeks to restrain government, in all aspects, to the confines of the Constitution. This is where Paul may appeal to them, but Bachmann has had Constitutional conservatism as a core part of her platform, not only during the campaign, but going all the way back to her entry into Congress. Third, a candidate who has the right business perspective. This is hard for almost all who have never run or worked in a small business, and it truly takes some serious thinking to analyze well. The right business perspective does not cater to the whims of large business, but forces them to get by on their own and holds them accountable for their infractions. It also does not create a boondoggle opportunity to cheat. It does, however, get off the back of business - both small AND large, creating a level playing field for all. Other than that, government actions are at best superfluous, and all too often contrary to the General Welfare.

Ron Paul is getting a lot of support from those who want to engage in drug abuse and immorality.

Any Christian - as well as any soldier - realizes in their heart that this is the path to more war, death and destruction.

Immorality can not save America.

There is NO easy way out of $15 trillion in debt. The only way out is long, slow and diffucult work and paying taxes.

Every government welfare check for a young, abled-bodied person and every unnecessary Federal bureaucrat paycheck is money that is not available to pay down Federal debt or buy military equipment if necessary - both of which would go much farther to preserve life and limb of Americans than having irresponsibility available to everyone.

I often wonder how supposed conservatives can be against abortion - but support the supposed "right" of fornication.
