“The truth is that since the end of the Soviet Union, unrelenting bipartisan U.S. interventionism under the two Bushes, Clinton, and Obama has earned America only defeat, hatred, death, limb-less soldiers and Marines, bankruptcy, and diminished national security. History will show that Dr. Ron Paul was right about the nation-killing costs of foreign intervention score at every step of the way. Perhaps the current disaster in Iraq will show whether his Senator-son is a chip of the old block and eager to defend America, or an acquiescent interventionist willing to tack in any direction necessary to have a shot at the presidency.” – Michael Scheuer
I hope Rand (or someone else) can be a leader, so far he’s silent on Iraq.
Most Americans are like children, they can be disciplined by a strong leader with convictions or fed lies. I think we’ve had enough lies, and dead people.
Ron Paul is the guy proclaiming the disaster, but he won’t be the one to fix it. Rand has been too demonized by the media and his political party.
Whoever rises up to take the reigns of this mess (for better or for worse) will have to be dark horse. A complete unknown.
Without the element of surprise he/she doesn’t stand a chance. The only question is:
Will we get a George Washington, or will we get a Hitler?
Obama = FDR
