You're wrong about it all.
We aren't "anti-this, or pro-that"
we are PRO LIBERTY.
There's a difference between letting the Government decide everything and wanting the citizens and the states to have more power.
Ya know, the government is suppose to work for the states, it was created BY the states, not the other way around.
And if people want to jump on the "Ron Paul bandwagon" then GREAT!
I mean, isn't that what an election is all about?
I just can't take seeing all this liberal and socialist Ron Paul support from within our country.

expect iraq.
Arent you aware that america is an empire? now tell me what happens if the empire keeps invading occupying countries by military force? well usual it will collapse on its own.
The same way soviet union collapsed and it wont be pretty.
i'm really tired so forgive me here...but my point about iraq is we went there under lies...yes...but we were also there to set them free...provide them a new government and show them the way to live...etc...etc...then we back out and come home...everyone knows it's too soon and they aren't ready but too much political pressure to end the war and bam...out of iraq.. there's already been a hostile flag raised in one city... within 1 year it'll be like we were never there...!!
I do not understand this "america cant afford to pay all the wars". Use your superior and army and make the world pay for it. The recent Libyan campaign was pure profit, for example. The attempt to create an alternative to USD and IMF was stopped, and part of the Libyan money can be taken to cover the costs. Not to mention the future contracts and the bigger share of Libyan oil. A profitable war and a message to those who dare to stand up against US interests.

it's a giant chess game using real people. so far, it seems the new agers are intent on ridding the planet of the abrahamic faiths, to include christianity, islam and judaism. so how is this achieved? just imagine what would happen if we retreated and lowered our defensive/aggressive posture world wide. somebody who was intent on reordering the planet and removing anything attached to abraham in anyway, would jump on that so fast. blow these guys up here, blame it on those guys, these guys retaliate, those guys retaliate via other guys, and boom boom boom. check mate.
i, for one, like being alive. i don't want to be check mated off the planet!edit on 23-1-2012 by undo because: (no reason given)

Do you realize how NAZI-like that statement is? My God, we believe in our values until it is inconvenient? I am glad you are not my neighbor.
1) There were 2 empires, and 1 empire wanted and made actions the other to collapse. Now there is just 1 empire and there is no force that can cause the collapse.
Let's get some facts absolutely straight, the people that are riding and hoping for Ron Paul are anti-war, pro-drugs, anti-gay marriage.
Even if a president wanted to do the right thing and help them...they receive too much pressure back home to end the war...bring the troops home..etc. so please explain to me how RP and his plan can work. there's never been peace in the world...and he's basing his foreign policies in a dream world of i won't touch you if you don't touch me bullsh*t. america has been attacked when we haven't instigated and we will continue to be attacked...even under the golden rule...

Complete nonsense!
I'm not even going to waste my time reading the rest of your OP.
