I like Ron Paul but I also supported the overthrow of Saddam. I think now we might have been to ambitious in trying to nation build afterwards. I understand Saddam was not behind 911 but there were other strategic reasons to take him out. He was the low hanging fruit, Al Qaeda has been forced to dedicate resources to fight us there etc. But how will pulling out of Iraq now make us safer? When I hear Ron Paul talk about a smaller government and mean it, it is hard not to want to vote for the guy.
As long as our troops are over there, it's so much easier for Al-Qaeda to target them. Think about it. We're on THEIR turf.
If we bring our troops home, Al-Qaeda has to come here. While that's not impossible, it's certainly more difficult, especially if our troops are here and available for securing our borders. Assuming, of course, that we have a president like Ron Paul, who actually would secure our borders.
Where do we get the moral authority to meddle in other countries' affairs? Imagine how we would feel if some foreign country decided that it was in their strategic interest to take out OUR president. I don't even like our current president anymore, but I'd be PISSED.
And yeah, it's great to finally have a candidate who has a consistent record of upholding and defending the Constitution. You can see from his record that he really means what he says. I will vote for him even if I have to write him in.
What the heck is this Freedom, Joy, and Adventure Blog about?
We are enthusiastically pro-joy, pro-freedom, pro-adventure, pro-gun.
The United States Constitution is sacred to us. Therefore, we support Ron Paul for President in 2008.
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." -- H. L. Mencken US editor (1880 - 1956)
"How a politician stands on the second amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual; as a trustworthy, productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded, controlled, supervised and taken care of." – Suzanna Gratia-Hupp
"Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." - Justice Louis D. Brandeis
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
