Our Founders recognized that embroilments with foreign lands were a problem, but Jefferson Correctly recognized that the Barbary pirates had to be shut down from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.

Ron Paul refuses to engage in the animated fight of FREEDOM.

Hmmmm...Ron Paul or Mitt Romney, Paul or Romney, which one is more in line with the Founding Fathers?

but Jefferson Correctly recognized that the Barbary pirates had to be shut down from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.

The halls of Montezuma was a reference to the Mexican War. The Barbary Wars were waged in our national interest, freedom of navigation on the high seas. They did not try to bring democracy, they waged a good old fashioned punitive expedition and compelled the enemy to fulfill our will. Under multiculturalism we must value the enemies civilians as we value our own, a return to the America First values of the founders would put Americans first, with perhaps a thousand to one ratio of retaliation for each America killed. Our 9-11 memorial would have been a wasteland where Kandahar once stood. I would exercise some restraint about being drawn into foreign conflicts, but failing that I would wage war without restraint, our ruling class of today does the exact opposite.
