One of the best commentaries I’ve seen in a long time on here showing the lunacy of the Paul foreign policy approach. Kudos on a well done post. The sarcasm is well placed and illustrates a great point.
I cannot ignore the necessity of defending the United States and American culture first and foremost because that same nation and culture has and will defend the Constitution and personal liberty in return.
I believe that cultural equivalence is a dangerous myth promoted by leftists and communists who believe that America is not culturally superior, and causes the worlds problems by trying to impose western values and societal systems on other nations.
I see overwhelming evidence that western free enterprise and capitalism makes people's lives better and raises their standard of living when applied, and socialism drives the same peoples rapidly toward poverty when it replaces free enterprise and capitalism.
I will support the candidate that opts for a judgemental fail safe approach to countering international terrorist or preparatory attacks upon the United States, not one that demands US Federal court rules of evidence to determine said terrorist's participation in an attack. It's Utopian policy that gets the innocents killed, and preemptive policy that gets the not-so-innocents killed.
