Since you are a dyed in the wool Ron Paul supporter perhaps you can answer this question about Mr. Paul: Do you believe that the jihadists are following a strategy and code when they profess hate for America that has nothing to do with American actions in the world? In other words do the jihadists attack America for us being Americans rather than for us having bases in other countries?
Countless times I have spoken with muslims who say they hate Americans for the way our women dress and behave. Or because we refuse to accepting their tenets of believing in the worship of allah as the "one true God"
Please explain to me if you can the Ron Paul idea that if we leave every base we have in the world and return to the continental United States, these true believing muslims will hate us any less. I really am having a hard time with the logic behind the Ron Paul thinking and wish that someone could explain it to me. Can you do it?
How do you think the jihadists view the "Christian" American President George W. Bush announcing in a speech that God told him to invade Iraq? How freakin' kooky is that? There are fringe elements in every religion.
I'm calling BS on your supposed conversations with Muslims. My daughter has a couple of Muslim friends in college - one of them from Iran - and they love America. Fear and paranoia are often signs of mental illness. You should have that checked out.
Please explain how we can afford to keep all of our military bases open around the world. You do know that WWII is over, right? Can we bring the troops home from Japan and Germany now? Also explain how we'll fund another war with another country, based on faulty -or flat out fraudulent- intelligence. WMD's anyone? Oh yeah, the oil we seize from Iran will pay for all of the military operations, right? They told us that about Iraq too.
Why do you neo-cons keep falling for the same lies? Do you have the memory of a goldfish?
