I was disappointed also with the lack of coverage of “Newsletter-gate”-it seemed like it was the only coverage of the man for two weeks at two different times in his campaign.
The things he said about the military were disparaging, and as our soldiers have become accustomed to that abuse under the Bush administration, they sent him MORE money than any other Republican-he really has them fooled!!
I demand that the government protect me from my own purchases-yesterday I bought cookies with high fructose corn syrup, and since the expanse of that product usage, obesity has skyrocketed in this country, but these were “low fat cookies” so I ate the whole bag.
Ron Paul’s foreign policy is SOOOO 20th century. To imply that Operation Ajax caused the cultural whiplash and hostage situation is a stretch, and the subsequent rehash of the Domino Theory application to the Middle East- not happening Dr Paul, everyone knows the Domino Theory didn’t work for the Communists, and our elected officials were not dumb enough to get drawn into another buildup against someone else’s enemy.
To suggest that our military is used as an expeditionary/imperialist force more often than a defense of our own borders-ridiculous. Anyone that a US presence is not always welcomed in the poor unfortunate, underdeveloped, resource rich, country is misguided. Our military spending is mostly corporate income taxes, and to believe that American companies are not always benevolent is paranoid. It sounds like that truther Naomi Klein and her “Shock Doctrine”.
I can’t believe I was seduced into Libertarianism by such reasoning.
