i agree that gradual change is what is needed. but when 99 candidates want no change at all and 1 candidate wants massive change, i'll pick the 1 candidate and hope that checks and balances keep things under control.

I could vote for Ron Paul if he change his position on murdering jews. I don't think we should.



With rhetoric like that you should run for office.

Its funny you bought into that. I didn't. Every politician in the history of the world campaigns on theme hope and change.

I don't think Aerlinthian voted for Obama, so I'm not sure you can say he bought into it.

It was the tripe getting spewed by most of his supporters, however, who obviously bought it. As a lot of them sound pretty disenfranchised now.

Edit: And, by all means, continue mocking those people.

We don't have those bases there because we're altruistic, our economic might is directly related to and intertwined with our military presence throughout the world.

I am gonna go ahead and guess you don't see anything wrong with this...


And you accuse others of 'not thinking things through' and parroting talking points...

You are a narrow minded simpleton incapable of thought.

So now you're going to argue that the US military dominance has lead to a less stable, more violent, and less free world? Sorry, but history does not back you up.

And, granted I'm not looking it up here, my "not thinking things through" was actually more like, "think about things once", a direct rebuttle to the accusation that I didn't think about it twice.

That has been the precise purpose of our military dominance & presence. Ever since WWII it has been our GRAND strategy to keep various regions destabilized so that they do not coalesce into regional powers which might then coalesce into competing super powers. This grand strategy is well documented by people who understand geopolitics. The problem however is that a lot of the world is getting very pissed off because of our incessant & destructive meddling.

As Dr Paul himself has said, our own CIA WARNED us of this.
