Ron Paul Has Put Me on The Fence....

Just saw Ron Paul on H&C. I hate to admit that I have always skimmed through his speeches on the floor, because I just assumed he was off base.
"Transferring war power to the President is unconstitutional"..... "We would have to change an amendment"....... Arguments posed by Doctor Paul.
On these terms, he is starting to win me over.
I still disagree that this is a non-provoked, because I believe that Saddam's refusal to obey the resolutions that kept him in power for 12 years is more than enough to act on. If we give in and do not follow through with the threat, how can our other enemies take us at our word? (hint:China.....Taiwan.....)
So, anti-war folks (if there are any left, teehee), have at me, pro-war folks, tell me how this transfer is not unconstitutional.

"I never called you an idiot." -rba-
That's pretty obvious, as it was I calling you one in my last post.
Any other witty things on your so-called mind?

. . . as we should excuse the blame-America-first conservativesI, for one, don't blame all of America--just the liberals and libertarians.
To: Chancellor Palpatine
Actually, like most Libertarian parasites everywhere, who gleefully suck off the benefits of society while decrying the basic social order that makes society work, tpaine is simply doing his tapeworm act. Hah. You mean socialized welfare, education, medicalcare and other various wealth redistribution systems? As long as our society is built on the tenents of Christianity, it will always be Socialist in nature.
To: Kangaroo Court
The liberal media like to trot out the "conservative" who along with the liberal Dims vote and speak against this administration and Republicans.So he can't have an opinion that differs with a leftist president and his semi-socialist backers?
To: tpaine
Hey! Leave her out of it!!
To: dheretic
LOL! As opposed to communism, which is built on the tenets of atheism?
Don't kid yourself--ALL man-glorifying (God-rejecting) utopias are destined to be coercive in nature, whether they call themselves communist, libertarian, or something else.
To: Kevin Curry
I, for one, don't blame all of America--just the liberals and libertarians. And Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson and many others....
Conservatism is classical Liberalism with rationalism replaced by religious zealotry and a belief that the community's needs (read: wants) are always more important than civil rights.
