Ron Paul has never repudiated the Monroe Doctrine.
In 1983, Ronald Reagan -- executing the Monroe Doctrine -- notified Congress of the Grenada Intervention, but did not consult Congress.
Congressman Ron Paul lodged no protest.
Considering he protests everything else that the Government does which is unconstitutional, his silence on Ronald Reagan's execution of the Monroe Doctrine does not help your case.
Which is no case at all, of course. President Reagan executed the Monroe Doctrine. Congress was notified. Ron Paul offered no objection.
Case closed.
I’d like to think otherwise, but you are an idiot.
Faced with what I just recited to you, you have deemed it reasonable to think that Paul would agree to military action outside of our borders.
That is patently false.
If Paul can’t sign on to the War on Terrorism, and he can’t, he shouldn’t be trusted to defend this nation and it’s citizens anywhere outside our borders.
Ron Paul has destroyed himself on this issue, and if you wish to defend a moonbat like that, go right ahead.
It’s your credibility, not mine.
There is one thing we can agree on. The case is definately closed.
Reagan Policy in Grenada
"The American people, unfortunately, could not see that both actions were the result of the same flawed policy. The Grenada invasion was heralded as a great triumph and applauded by the vast majority of American people. The truth is that neither the medical students nor the administrator of the medical school ever requested the rescue. The military argument for invasion was shallow. If the airbase in Grenada ever became a threat to the United States, a single missile fired from a ship offshore could destroy it in minutes..."Reagan Policy in Nicaragua & Libya"The overwhelming "victory" in Grenada was less than a brilliant military operation. There were no Cuban troops of any significance. The landing was changed from 2 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. because the U.S. authorities were uncertain of night operations. Nineteen U.S. soldiers were killed seven by friendly fire..."
"Worst of all, and typical of our tragic foreign policy-in the midst of the Grenada invasion designed to make the world safe for democracy by stopping the spread of communism-President Reagan, behind the scenes, was forcefully lobbying for specific aid to "Communist-dictators" through additional IMF funding. The invasion of Grenada is hardly the victory the American people were led to believe."
"The U.S. policy toward Libya further confirms our irrational foreign policy. Under Reagan we have been determined to pick a fight with Khadafi, defying him with naval and air maneuvers in the Gulf of Sidra. As we try to emphasize our right to navigate in international waters near Libya, we totally reject the territorial waters of Nicaragua by mining their harbors. The World Court rulings against the U.S. were ignored by the Reagan Administration, yet the President insists that international law is legitimate in the Gulf of Sidra. The most important point, however, is that the Gulf of Sidra has nothing to do with U.S. security."Quoting the World Court and screaming "act of war ... not authorized by our Constitution" during Reagan's Presidency and now calling himself a Reagan Republican is why real Reagan followers are repulsed by this fraud of a man."Bombing a foreign capital, and killing innocent civilians, including a young daughter of Khadafi - even if the opinion polls support the action - is an act of war and not authorized by our Constitution."
