Say what you want, but do you think this administration should venture into anything outside our borders?
To: Kaslin
While it is a HUGE mistake, and just flat wrong, to always rush in around the world guns blazing (Iraq being the PERFECT example) I could not agree more about Rand. He wouldn’t help Israel (or any other ally) if they were looking at extinction.
Obviously there are times when we must exercise American Military might. Paul makes it clear he almost never would.

The first thing a new Republican President should do after being elected is go on a worldwide apology tour. But not one like our former President Obama did. No, he will not apologize for Pax Americana, but apologize to the world for America unleashing Obama on them for 8 years and promises to get back to that relationship America enjoys with all freedom loving countries.

The writer obviously hasn’t been paying attention to the recent incarnation of Rand.

Id rather hear from Senator Rand Paul, the only politician inside the Republican Party who seems to have guts these days.
This is a laughable screed.
So, we're talking about the same Rand Paul that is such a coward and such a non-leader that he wants to put the social issues on the back burner?
So, we're talking about the same Rand Paul that supported the King of the GOP-E, McConnell, over a Tea-Party Candidate Bevin?
So, we're talking about the same Rand Paul that can't be bothered to speak out on the side of morality and fairness where the McDaniel/Cochran mess is concerned?
Rand Paul is a coward!

I can see we are going to have to have at least two parties.

Today, a gutless generation gets the small wars now with the large wars thrown in later for good measure. The article may have some good points but calling an entire generation "gutless" is wrong. First, the country goes through cycles -- going into a more isolationist cycle isn't gutless. It may be wrong, but it isn't due to cowardice.

From the article:
Defaulting to foreign policy that cowers on this side of the ocean-- any oceanbecause we cant afford to fight for anything or because countries get mad at us for fighting for something or because America cant be the policeman of the world is not admitting of the plain facts. Given that of a population of 313.9 million there is an estimated 11.7 million (low estimate) that are illegal immigrants it's particularly foolish to say that we can afford to be so involved with overseas operations. — given the greater estimate of 20m we get 6.3%, which is slightly more than 1 in 20.
We are in the middle of an invasion — it is folly to concentrate on what's happening overseas while turning a blind eye to our own back yard.

Disagree. Fist he would need to BELIEVE it.
He clearly does not.

Destiny? “I do not think that word means what you think it means.”
Our destiny is not to fix the world to keep America safe. It’s ruled by someone else.

Las Vegas? I thought for sure this dispatch would be from Mosul. It’s pretty gutless of Mr. Ransom to stay on this side of the ocean.
