And people take this guy seriously? Amazing.
Peaceful Americans? We are in every god damn wars since the beginning of the 20th century. After WW2, we are the reason why there are so many endless wars. We have bases in over 130 countries. Almost 200 bases outside of USA.

The last country that had bases like this is Great British. Remember the history you learn in school? The Great British Empire. The sun never set on British land.

We occupy other people's home forever in the name of "Peace". Killing their people, bombing their homes, in the name of "Peace". This is the reason why no one love the American.

Yet, we don't like it if other countries do the same to us. But some how, it is ok when we do it to others.

People who think Ron Paul is soooooo wrong need to read up Middle Eastern history. We had done nothing but make enemies there since the end of WWII. We basically took over for France and England, and now e are paying the price of a bad foreign policy.

AMAZING
Exactly! I can't stand it, which is exactly why I will not vote for Obama again.

Even more amazing are Republicans defending The Patriot Act and S1867. Americans have become so easily manipulated and fearful.
Where are our principles???

I disagree with you on pretty much everything, but at least we find ourselves in agreement with this one. The dumbest thing I have ever heard was "the Muslim terrorists hate us for our freedoms". Every time I hear that, I have to stop myself from laughing before I suffocate. This is definitely blowback, has NOTHING to do with our "freedoms" how little we have left.

Same here. I voted for Obama in 2010, and was a Democrat before I discovered Ron Paul.

Which is why I don't consider myself a Republican either. I only switched over to vote for Paul, I consider myself a libertarian leaning Independent.

You have all these Ron Paul haters calling his foreign policy crazy and insane.

I think Albert Einstein said it best:


http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/26032.html

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein, (attributed)

That's exactly what our foreign policy is.

So who is crazy?

Exactly! How would we like it if a foreign force tried to take over in the name of "peace!" I'm pretty sure we'd all start shooting!

If I slap you in the face and then stand there flapping my gums, what are you going to do about it.

Thing is, no one has ever told you who exactly drew first blood.

Shah of Iran come to mind? Remember that guy?

Thank you for the opportunity to illustrate how ill-informed the Paulbots can be. No, the United States hasn't been in every war since the beginning of the 20th century:
Ongoing wars
