Ron Paul is a shining beckon of hope within whats left of the republic

[matrixxx123456789]

THIS is my Prez! Ty for the vid!

[Aaronator01]

I'm sorry, When I said "he is... (entitled to his own opinion) I was referring to Ron Paul... not Thomas Jefferson.

[Aaronator01]

Thomas Jefferson himself once said, "Trade with all nations, ally with none." No allies, no enemies, no problems... So don't throw his name into your argument like that. But you are entitled to your own opinion, just as he is. I stand by Ron Paul 100%, his logic makes complete sense if you get in-deep and understand the nature of foreign affairs.

[Aaronator01]

In all honesty, you have your opinion, but on the contrary, America has pissed much of the world off. Not it's people, but the leaders in charge of foreign policy. Ideology you say? There ideology is to remove threats from foreign powers they entitle "The jihad." It's solely a defensive position... Yeah it's aggressive defense, but defense none the less. Even your profile is an Obama profile, so I assume you voted for him- didn't he want to pull out? What about the economy? C'mon!

[Aaronator01]

Indeed he is retracting the defense, but WHY is the most important question. Consider this; America has meddled with nations affairs to suit the lobby, in doing so, un-wittingly supported acts of terrorism in itself against other nations, wrongfully declared war in the first place, and wasted billions in the round-about. If this was another nations conflict on Iraq for the same reasons we have today, it would be illegal and America would put an end to it.

[Aaronator01]

If you believe that the reserve is a necessary government institution then you are mislead. We were fine before 1913 and now we pay taxes that are not represented, taxes that go into private hands. An institution that our founding fathers fought to get away from... The main reason America exists in the first place. We are the Sons of liberty.

[christmanpunch]

These are obviously absurd positions to sane people. He purposely misleads people by dramatizing our over seas military bases while calling his own country an "empire" on an almost daily basis. He purposely ignores the obvious fact that these countries want our bases in their countries. For example the Saudis wanted an American Air Force base in their country to help protect them from Saddam who was threatening to invade them and steal their oil. Hardly an evil act on our part.

[christmanpunch]

He also said that he opposed the decision of Thomas Jefferson to create the U.S. Navy for the purpose of liberating the hundreds of thousands of Americans kidnapped and enslaved by the North African jihadist slave empire. He derided the decision by Jefferson to free our own people from slavery as "foreign adventuring". Simply outrageous and a glimpse into how nutty he is. He also wants to abolish the CIA and the Department of Homeland Security cuz he thinks being isolationists will protect us.

[christmanpunch]

For example, he routinely compared the islamofascist terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 to the minutemen of the American revolution who were "just responding as we would if Saudi Arabia had an Air Force base in our country", He blames our foreign policy for the global islamofascist jihadist movement rather than islamic ideology. This has had the effect of turning usually patrriotic right wing Americans into anti-American conspiracy theorists and defeatists who want to surrender to terrorists.

[christmanpunch]

He's a libertarian ideologue who's so obsessed with shrinking the size of government and government spending at all costs that he's willing to advocate insane foreign and defense policy while apologizing for evil monsters throughout the world such as the islamofascists and communists and he routinely demonizes his own country which has turned a large section of right wingers into leftist-esque America hating moral relatavists. And he wants to abolish necessary government agencies. That's why.

[Aaronator01]

LOL I know! That is about as honest and ironic as it gets.
