Ron Paul will not recognize that there are malevolent entities that have, from their creation, the purpose of misdirecting America's strength to subjugate the world under their vision of a proper society.

I disagree. I believe he would see our strength built up to resist just such forces. Again, he has voted for military force against terrorists, including places where they reside throughout the world. He would, it seems, rather act out of sense and constitutional principle than knee jerk emotion.

Do you think it wise for billions of our dollars to support Egypt and other middle eastern countries; to spread our military into hundreds of other countries for police work? I think such policies are defintiely worthy of question, to say the least.

Our policies and actions in other parts of the world do not take place without consequence any more than the policies and actions of other countries take place in our own land without consequence, Mexico being a case in point.

Stipulated.

However, "entities" includes more than terrorists. It easily includes Iraq and Iran.

Ron wants to cut off foreign aid? I'll pay for the shredder he can drop the checks into. Never said I wouldn't.

I agree Ron would continue a reasonably strong military, but he would never use them soon enough.

Enough of this code speak for "It's America's fault". The "consequences" of being nice and trying to be loved are more dead Americans and more destroyed and stolen property than if we deliberately worked to be hated.

If Paul shows up at the convention toting a sack containing the heads of Chavez, Castro, and Ahmadinejad, I'll give him my vote and another list. Till then, I'll look elsewhere.
