i even agree with that it is the isolationism in this world that just isn't possible. the truther stuff, the statement he said he didn't believe Muslims were our enemy, how would he ever protect us if he can't see that?
Long time confabulation of language coming from the top here has led to utter confusion. Not interfering does not equate to isolationism. We would like to stand by our own USA principles of PEACE, diplomacy, pragmatism, empathy, equal justice, fair trade & HONEST friendship, thus promoting by demonstration the unification around basic humanitarian ideals and human progress-- the opposite of isolation.
Our current foreign policy seems to me to promote isolationism-- to isolate "us" from "them", and to isolate us AND them from the rest of the world we claim is all ours, none theirs. Over decades & centuries, to perpetually select, fund, build up then overthrow foreign leaders at whim, to level sanctions against certain countries such that they may not grow their own nation nor sell their own products nor even own their own bank, b/c we say so; to dictate to sovereign nations whom can be their friends or trade associates-- all this while we over-favor other countries & attack selected countries with no specific plan, target or reason, all selected by far away committee for vague reasons: none of that promotes national defense, but all of it dooms the masses here AND there to poverty of perpetual war & isolation. To label Not doing those things as "isolationism" is like telling a man t...&

And we do this all in the name of freedom, prosperity, humanitarian progress??! This is fatally expensive folly. We now have a foreign policy of hypocrisy and tyranny, at the expense of all working & poor ppl everywhere. Continually submitting to status quo establishment backed leaders will continue this policy: Obama and Romney will not change a thing.
Muslims aren't the enemy. All extremism is the enemy, but we shouldnt be at war. What goes on in the middle east is not our concern. Well, oil is the only reason we are concerned about it.
I'm sorry but how hasn't anyone jumped on and explained that that's a racist notion? We are not a Christian nation, we are a free nation, where people are allowed to worship their shoe if they desire. I know Muslims who hate the fact that 9/11 happened, and they don't condone terrorist acts.
No it isn't, it is History. It has always been spread by the sword. There may be muslims who didn't agree with 9-11. On the whole It vastly disagrees with Christianity, it is fact, not racism.
Im supporting Romney because hes going to get the nomination, but after doing more research on the state of the nation, I think it takes someone like Ron Paul to fix this before its too late.
Easiest answer ever. There is no competition, at all. Romney cares about the rich and only the rich. He's not out to help the every day American and only cares about making money for himself and the rest of the 1%. Ron Paul is and always has been a man of the people and of the Constitution. He would definitely put this country back on track.
Get a grip on the entire Paul platform. Ask yourself why hasn't it caught on with the majority? Why does even Fox News think he's a nut? Why do Paulbots hang around other Paulbots and claim the whole country is stupid? Why do they continue to believe Paul is going to get the nom?
popularity has nothing to do with whats good or not, there could be a myriad of reasons something or someone unpopular, some rational some just plain stupid.
Paul's ideals are very very unpopular. With all walks of life. Many many people smarter than me are calling him a nut. Who besides Ron Paul do you listen to?
The #1 reason Paul has no support and will never be president is when He opened his mouth about Israel he screwed the pooch. 2nd would be national defense. The Christain majority in this country hold both near and dear to their heart. Christians will never turn their back on Israel.
They are both terrible choices, neither one understands basic Economics, and Ron Paul needs to step into a time machine and get educated by the Founding Fathers about what they were trying to do when they wrote the Constitution.
Just because you were born a poor little rich kid does not mean you understand Economics. I am sure he has plenty of well paid Tax Lawyers and Tax Accountants who help him avoid paying taxes. That is not understanding Economics that is saying to hell with the average American who must pay their fair share of taxes, and can not avoid them the way that the poor little rich kids do.
What planet do you live on? Ron Paul is very smart when it comes to the economy and is brilliant when it comes to the Constitution! Find out what he stands for before you make stupid statements...He would make a great President...
If that is what you think you probably have not done your homework, or you live on Mars. I know more about both the Constitution and how the Founding Fathers put it together and Economics than Ron Paul ever will. You are the one making stupid and uneducated statements.
But if he does not run I won't vote for Obama.

P.S. we do need to stop blindly supporting Israel unless we want to keep getting drawn into middle eastern conflicts.
