It's ok LK you can admit it, others think Ron Paul is a loon because he doesn't want our troops spread out all over the world, well because it's expensive and kinda stupid really.

We are the policemen of the world, but that doesn't mean we should be.

Ron Paul's ideas aren't loony it's the world we live in that has become "loony".

We "Paultards, Paulites, Paulistas, or now Paulsies" have lost this battle no doubt about it. It's just 1 battle, we are not defeated.

I didn't get into this thinking that Ron Paul would be the next president of the United States. I got into this thinking that more people like myself and Ron Paul needed to get involved in the process of our governance.

To use an Obama line we can affect change, "yes we can".

We have very clear directions now to head from here, this was not a campaign this was a Revolution.

So basically you guys are Neocons under a new name of "Paultards, Paulites, Paulistas, or now Paulsies"

Great, that will fix the country. :roll:

Uh no we are not NeoCons, as a matter of fact we are the direct opposite of "neocons". The Neocons took over using fear and believe in a Trotsky idealism developed by Leo Strauss and perpetuated by Irving Kristol. The Neocons have no trouble with Fiat currency, as a matter of fact they embrace it. They embrace spreading democracy by force, as they believe it will entitle us to more wealth. They believe you must lie and cheat and not bring the truth to the masses as they are a tool, not free thinking people. A decent documentary on the subject of the Neoconservative movement along with the "Al Queda" movement is called "Power of Nightmares". It can be found here.

Our movement is closer to that of these guys called Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, and Washington.

Kristol's writings can be found of course on Amazon.

Yes, clearly the isolationists were to blame. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that we declared war on them.

The stage was set long before we declared war. Our "neutral" position and "isolationist" stance created the situation in which the inevitable conclusion was war.

How so? The new PM of England had just repealed the Impressment orders at about the same time we declared war. If we had simply waited, the main reason for going to war would have been eliminated.

It seemed liked we jumped the gun. Oh well. I'm glad that we are much smarter today. Modern America would never preemptively attack a neutral nation based on false pretense.
