What if the American People Learn the Truth!

What if we wake up one day and realize that the terrorist threat is a predictable consequence of our meddling in the affairs of others?

What if propping up repressive regimes in the Middle East endangers both the United States and Israel?

What if occupying countries like Iraq and Afghanistan and bombing Pakistan is directly related to the hatred directed toward us and has nothing to do with being free and prosperous?

What if someday it dawns on us that losing over 5,000 American military personnel in the Middle East since 9/11 is not a fair trade-off for the loss of nearly 3,000 American citizens, no matter how many Iraqi, Pakistani, and Afghan people are killed or displaced?

What if we finally decide that torture, even if called enhanced interrogation techniques, is self-destructive and produces no useful information and that contracting it out to a third world nation is just as evil?

What if it is finally realized that war and military spending is always destructive to the economy?

What if all wartime spending is paid for through the deceitful and evil process of inflating and borrowing?

What if we finally see that wartime conditions always undermine personal liberty?

What if conservatives, who preach small government, wake up and realize that our interventionist foreign policy provides the greatest incentive to expand the government?

What if conservatives understood once again that their only logical position is to reject military intervention and managing an empire throughout the world?

What if the American people woke up and understood that the official reasons for going to war are almost always based on lies and promoted by war propaganda in order to serve special interests?

What if we as a nation came to realize that the quest for empire eventually destroys all great nations?

What if Obama has no intention of leaving Iraq?

What if a military draft is being planned for the wars that will spread if our foreign policy is not changed?

What if the American people learn the truth: that our foreign policy has nothing to do with national security and that it never changes from one administration to the next?

What if war and preparation for war is a racket serving the special interests?

What if President Obama is completely wrong about Afghanistan and it turns out worse than Iraq and Vietnam put together?

What if Christianity actually teaches peace and not preventive wars of aggression?

What if diplomacy is found to be superior to bombs and bribes in protecting America?

What happens if my concerns are completely unfounded nothing!

What happens if my concerns are justified and ignored nothing good!

What if we had more members of Congress who understood these basic truths?

Nice speech Mr. Paul. But we already know that our country is being run by a bunch of "FUCK-UPS." Iran gives Hamas a few shit-ass rockets and they're considered terrorists. The United States gives Israel top of the line military equipment and we're considered Gods little children. Not to mention that U.S. taxpayers foot the fucking bill for all of it.

So the cause of terrorism is fighting against it? Sounds like the definition of sado-masochism to me.

[narukofan2]

Sadly most Americans a sheep who don't know or don't want to know the truth because they would rather sit on their dumbed down asses and watch stupid shows like Idiot Idol and Jerk ass Shore rather than doing what is right and standing up against tyranny of government and stand up for their rights and the rights of others.

Wake up America...The Matrix has you.
