American troops are now being used as muscle for the drug traffickers.

Barney Frank is such a piece of garbage! And the fact that he would tell such an obvious and transparent lie almost the very instant he opens his mouth speaks volumes about how big of a piece of crap he really is.

He's not fit to shine Dr Paul's shoes, on the contrary. He is most likely made up of the same substance that Dr. Paul would scrape off his shoe at the end of the day.

Ron Paul for President 2012!!!

End the Fed, End the Wars, End the IRS, Legalize Freedom!

Frank was responsible for the housing bubble by not allowing any reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac along with the other Democrats.

@Wolffanator Yes... somehow sending our armed forces and reserves to the opposite side of the planet equates into "security."

Funny... 19 Arabs caused 9/11, yet 12 million illegals exist in the U.S. I would have thought that securing the border would've been first priority after 9/11. I've got nothing against the illegals (I understand their drive to want a better life for the next generation). But people do, with a straight face, argue that our porous borders aren't a major security risk.

Obama is just another face of the banking and militaro-industrial elite that dominate the world and that tries to use the name of the US as a front for world domination. He has sold out his soul to a machiavelic project and he is not at all someone to be trusted; no more so that clinton, Bush or any other american president of 20th century.

"Our nation is at war, we face a very tough fight in afganistan, but americans don't flinch in the face of difficult truths or difficult tasks... etc"

I'll bet anything the Soviets said exactly the same thing when they tried to invade afganistan. American politicians give hypocrisy a bad name.

I have heard that question at times, and I've asked it. The statement about people abonding their morals/beliefs(which they make up themselves anyway) I agree is true about the majority of humans.

That's an interesting way of describing it. What I wonder is if that 65% who thinks we should stay in Iraq and Afgahnistan until we "win", can they even define what winning means? Every time I hear a scenerio of what they're ideas of "winning" is, it seems pretty ridiculous to me.

@Wolffanator Ever argued with someone who asks you "How would you feel if it happened to YOU?" People, apparently, abandon their morals and beliefs when they no longer work in their personal best interest.

65% of Republicans aren't "pro-war," they're just "pro-Old-Testament-style-kicka­ss-of-my-enemies-war." They fail to see that fighting this war, "for our safety," is only serving to bring about their worst fear: the collapse of Amerika and the loss of white, Christian domination.

Awe look at the cute little retarded boy trying to be serious!

@waluum

That is a good point. I used that inaccurate terminology myself. It's an important distinction to make. My own way of thinking about it is this: There is a big difference between minding your own buisness/defending yourself if neccessary vs. stumbling around in a pub like a drunken fool with beer muscles looking for a fight. The position in reality is being anti-pre-emptive war.
