He still can't win in today's political climate.

Rand fits more into the GOP mold than Ron ever did.

Which is almost unarguably a bad thing.

Ron Paul: Military force against Syria 'reckless,' 'immoral' - Washington Times

I'm not going to touch morals but wreckless is 100% correct. Here's to spending more money, risking more lives, and killing more foreign civilians. And for what? The rest of the world is soon going to get tired of all this...

The rest of the world has been tired of us for quite some time. I think the country is waking up to the fact that people don't like us very much.

I think Americans have been tired for some time.
10 years in Iraq, 11 years in Afghanistan, both are in turmoil.
What have we accomplished in 10+ years of war?

We should have gone into Afghanistan, hit Al-Qaeda hard and got out. We should have never went into Iraq.

We agree on something.

Getting the ones responsible for 9/11 and then come home.

Concur.

And if an attack on Iraq were intended simply to topple Hussein, then that is what we should have done.

Ron Paul right again...

 

[Mr_Henley]

Oh for a mulligan of the 2012 election.

That man had a groundswell that was drawing huge crowds, including 7,000 at UCLA and Berkley.... But hey, let's not announce him the actual winner of Iowa or allow precincts in states he carried 4 years earlier because of "inclement weather".

With Obama's approval ratings dropping Ron Paul had a real shot 1v1. He could've pulled from the center without a doubt. Meanwhile Romney was run to the front again, and pulled 4-5 total people not normally voting (R).... go figure.

Pretty spot on

 

[Mr_Henley]

Never had a chance they said...."Sorry Henley, he's just too crazy for me. I don't like his foreign policy"

(Me) "Like what, exactly?"

" I mean, just everything, he's too old and crazy, ROMNEY 2012, at least he's not Obama!!!"

 

[Mr_Henley]

Not to mention he was nearly boo'd offstage for suggesting we would eventually have to deal with blowback from a decade of unjust and prolonged bombing.


You know, because in 2001 Giuliani lived in New York and Ron Paul didn't... So he should apologize....(Christie uses same schtick vs Rand years later).

The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity : Paris and What Should Be Done

It may not be popular to say this as emotions run high and calls ring out for more bombing in the Middle East, but there is another way to address the problem. There is an alternative to using more military intervention to address a problem that was caused by military intervention in the first place.

That solution is to reject the militarists and isolationists. It is to finally reject the policy of using “regime change” to further perceived US and western foreign policy goals, whether in Iraq, Libya, Syria, or elsewhere. It is to reject the foolish idea that we can ship hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weapons to “moderates” in the Middle East and expect none of them to fall into the hands of radicals.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

And some of you called Ron Paul a kook...

 

[n_huffhines]

He is a kook, but that doesn't mean he's wrong. You can be weird and right.

Apology Day

Ever since interventionists turned America toward empire and foreign control and domination in the Spanish American War in 1898, there has been no nation-state that has invaded the United States. There is a simple reason for that: No nation-state in Europe, Africa, and Asia has the money, armaments, personnel, equipment, supplies, or even the interest in crossing the ocean and invading the United States. Moreover, at the risk of belaboring the obvious, the same holds true for Canada and Latin American countries.

While U.S. interventionism includes Latin America, America’s deadliest foreign wars have been waged “over there” — in countries thousands of miles away from American shores. Since none of them involved an invasion of the United States, none of them can be said to be have been waged in “self-defense.” They were all based on foreign interventionism.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Combining a national-security state with an interventionist foreign policy proved to be a disaster for the American people in terms of a never-ending series of foreign wars — wars that had nothing to do with defending the United States from an invading power.

The Korean War.​

The Vietnam War.​

The Grenada War.​

The Panama War.​

The Iraq War.​

The Afghanistan War.​

The Somalia War.​

And more...​

​

All with the consequence of placing American soldiers, who were made to believe that they were “defending” America, in a position of killing foreigners or being killed by them.
