Sen. Rand Paul, during the second night of the Republican National Convention, praised President Trump as someone who “gets things done” as he called for voters to support the president's re-election "if you hate war like I hate war."

Paul, R-Ky., a staunch conservative libertarian who challenged Trump during the 2016 Republican presidential primary, began his speech Tuesday night recalling how “down to earth” the president is.

A simple message that resonates. “The Democrats are the war party.”

Yes. The Democrats are more than just the tax-and-spend party. As you noted, they are also the war party. From the article:

“Joe Biden voted for the Iraq War, which President Trump has long called the worst geopolitical mistake of our generation,” Paul said. “I fear Biden will choose war again.”

Easy to forget how much stupid useless expensive war Trump ended! He did everything quietly and methodically. Incredible.

Why is the “anti-war” Left pro-race war and pro-Palestinian war?

Afghanistan was an even bigger mistake. Bin Laden was protected by Pakistan.

His speech was an F.U. to John Bolton.

Trump’s opposition to Endless War and Cheap Labor help him with most people.

Trump’s opposition to Endless Wars needs to be front and center.

“How many missiles did Obama unleash”?

A lot of token cruise missles.

Obama unleashed thousands of cuts upon America, It’s called “Death by a thousand cuts”.

Rand Paul 2024, much to the chagrin of Mike Pence.

And Pence earned his keep tonight as he always does. POTUS does not have a more stalwart ally.

But his history and formative years were as part of Orthodox Conservatism, which is now dead. And that’s something none of these old Republicans will be able to shed.

I’m with Paul. Every time we go to war, our culture lurches to the left. War upsets the moral compass.

Evert time we offshore production and a small or mid-sized town becomes economically decimated we lurch left. There are deleterious domestic social implications caused by globalist economics.

I wonder how many Libs think Trump is a war-monger? It’s hard to get the facts through to these people.
