“The hypocrisy of hating Ron Paul for a single issue while embracing other imperfect candidates is astounding. “

This single issue is the determining factor of our future. If we back down and the Jihad declares victory, will we ever have the resolve to stand up for freedom again? Will any ally ever be willing to join us in a fight for survival when it counts? Why would anyone stand with us when our actions betray our words?

Will any country stand for freedom and liberty? Ever?

You can't compare Ron Paul, William F. Buckley or even George W. Bush, all of whom said they were opposed to nation building, with the power hungry socialists on the left who oppose the war only because the polls tell them that it is the easiest way to garner power and use the national treasury as a means to keep it.

Two different motives. Conservatism requires thought. Liberalism is easy. Now that we are there, we have and should slaughter all the islamofascists. It's like a roach motel there. The Jihadis check in but they don't check out. Then we can leave, declare victory and leave the left wing anti war moonbats holding the bag that contained what they thought was surrender and humiliation for President Bush...which they instead found out contains the remnants of their 2 year reign of US Socialism or a lame attempt at it.

Exactly! We have a Constitution, but if we just ignore it, what moral voice do we have to push for others to adopt a Constitutional government (especially against their religion)?

I doubt it. But I have to have hope that it can happen, and the closest I see for that now is Ron Paul.

Will he win? What a longshot. But at least with his campaign, some young people are learning that conservatism doesn't really mean Nanny-State control and drunken-sailor spending.
