On the contrary, he wants them defeated pointedly and soundly.

If cut and run wanted to defeat the terrorists why does he want to cut the funding to the military that they need to defeat them? Why does he constantly want to give the terrorists a base in Iraq? Why does he want to surrender to his terrorist buddies?

His issue is not with defeating terrorists, but in using our military to propagate democracy among peoples who despise it, all the while leaving our own borders wide open to attack through illegal immigration. There are more pointed, more efficient, and more secretive ways of dealing blows to our enemies, including your own right and ability to take up arms in defense of your person and country.

The advice of our forefathers to refrain from meddling in other nations affairs is not absolute, as even they themselves acted abroad in the interest of our country. At the same time, our involvement in world affairs should not be stretched to the extent we weaken ourselves.

Do you march into other peoples homes and tell them how to live, since you are so good at it and know what’s best for everyone else? Why should we march into other peoples lands and tell them how to live? Screw that. We’ve got our rules regarding life and liberty right here. What sense is there in shoving it down the throats of tyrants and religious fanatics abroad, letting them choke on it, and then telling them to shut up and take it?

I guarantee you Ron Paul would never allow religious fanatics to march into our land and shove their sharia law down our throats, much as they would like to do so. But, in turn, should we deprive the same religious fanatics of the superstitions and slavery they prefer?

Keep our land strong, protect it. Remove and filter out those whose despise the liberties we enjoy. Let anyone in who understands and appreciates our laws which in turn facilitate individual freedom and accountability. That is essentially what Ron Paul is about. Not too bad.
