Absolutely, aqnything would be better than our current or past leadership of the last three decades.
Never. Your man Paul stated out loud and in a public debate that he sees nothing wrong with allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons. He’s never going to make it anywhere near the White House, thank God.
That, and Paul is too smart. He’s a Republican and knows a third party run would help elect Obama. Only the most dense and mathematically challenged would fall for that.
If you wish to place a wager on whether or not he will run third party, I’m up for it. He was a Libertarian, but he has been a libertarian (small ‘L’) Rebublican for years. I welcome his participation in the Republican Party.
That’s why I pointed that that’s the one I was talking about.
Sure.
The OWS protesters are angry. But they are disoriented: they are incoherent and have no goal. All they are doing Is throwing a temper tantrum, feeling the power of their anger and thinking they are accomplishing something. That’s the better of them. They are a malliable mob waiting for any leader to catch them.
Just your saying so does not make it so. His supporters know that he’s still a Big L Libertarian or they wouldn’t vote for him (legalized drugs, de-funding Israel). I do not gamble, thank you kindly.
Obviously, you aren’t comprehending the distinction. A “Big L” Libertarian is a member of the Libertarian Party and runs for office as a Libertarian. A libertarian Republican holds libertarian ideals but is a Republican. There are classical conservatives, moderates, “neo”-conservatives (though that term gets misused a lot) and libertarian Republicans.
I am comprehending perfectly well thank you. I know what you believe and you know what I believe and shall we leave it there? Dr. Paul has not changed his beliefs over the years although he has done some shape-shifting in order to pretend better so he can run as a Republican. His followers have not changed either, although he does pick up some of the younger generation when they find out he’s the drug-legalizing guy. This is OT for the thread so I will stop there.
Well, though the fact that it was OT wasn’t important enough for you to stop prior to that post, I will let you have the last word. I can recognize when someone has given up.
The London riots are not so far out of memory to think that this could not get very unruly. There have already been plenty of arrests.
Ya, because the federal criminalization of drugs and the federal “War on Drugs” has been such a resounding success.
The Obama administration is on it! Oh wait, they sold them the guns.Oh wait, it has given us the most violent and well armed cartels in history, who are encroaching our southern border and are infiltrating the Mexican government.
Was this part of their deficit reduction plan?
It doesn’t usually happen right at 1,000 posts, unless the thread has been too difficult. I only saw a couple of moderator interventions so I think people have kept this discussion relatively civilized.
It became apparent by the time early on when Guatanamo remained open that most liberals and leftists were never opponents on the wars, or the way that the wars were being waged, but were partisan Democrats opposed to Republicans only.
