Yep.

Context is everything. I remain outraged at the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but I haven't forgotten who got us into them. As for all these "other wars," (it seems like the number magically increases every time this smear is repeated), I will be mad if and when unbiased sources confirm that these "wars" are actually happening.

I do wish the president would put his foot down and put an end to this, but you won't hear me screaming quite the same way as you, because unlike you, I'm not trying to score political points by it. And what a shameless act you're putting on here, suddenly taking the anti-war mantle after your side got us into this mess in the first place.

If this is a serious change of heart, then put your politics aside and focus on peace activism. Otherwise, shame on your lying tongue.

I love this place. I've never seen so many whacko's climb out of the woodwork as here. Hey, Las Vegas Drunk, how do you square your noble morality with your undying support of Ron Paul?

Do you agree with Ron Paul's comment "Boy, it sure burns me to have a national holiday for Martin Luther King. I voted against this outrage time and time again as a Congressman. What an infamy that Ronald Reagan approved it! We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey Day."

Or how about this gem from Ron Paul's lips, " Polls consistently show only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions". Who needs wars overseas when we can have a nice race war right here at home?

Go crawl back into your bottle, LVD. Maybe you can find some pinko Republicans - I mean elephants - dancing around next.

If America is supposed to claim a prize I've never seen it in the past. So far the ONLY land I've seen Americans take in wars were enough property to bury their dead.

Yeah, keeping the gulf region stable regarding the flow of oil would be in our interest.
How Obama letting the Islamic Brotherhood have Egypt works for us boggles my mind.

Go ahead and read the link I post below and watch the videos and you will see. Obama is backing this illegal war. This more than proves the democrats are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

P.S. If anyone brings up Dennis Kucinich, he is an exception to my post. Although I do not agree with all of his viewpoints, he has my utmost respect for trying to impeach Obama for his illegal wars. I wish Ron Paul or him won the 2008 election because what Obama is doing is atroicous.

What I have been saying is that the democratic party has been hijacked by the progressive radicals. I knew in the 60's and 70's we would suffer when the unwashed morons came into leadership. Too many bad drugs, marxist professors and the offspring appears to have suffered genetically.

What is my side? I have always been anti-war and am a libertarian. Since when did the libertarians get us into any wars?

I am not racist whatsoever and do not agree with all of Ron Paul's viewpoints, namely being the things you mentioned and also his pro life chance. He may not be perfect, but he is way better than anyone else running in 2012.

Well since you're treating a Republican problem as a Democrat problem, I would have figured you had a bias toward the former.

I can agree with that.

Because the vast majority of Democrats were never anti-war to begin with. They just pretended to be outraged over Bush's "illegal wars" so that a Democrat would be the next President. All that really drives them is stealing money from the productive through taxation and re-distributing it to the welfare queens.
