Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

The principal value of debate lies in the development of logical thought processes, and the ability to articulate your positions publicly.

The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it.

If there's one thing that Ron Paul does right it's foreign policy. Everything else he stands for doesn't really appeal to me.
If only mainstream media would schedule other war critics more often. I'm sick of him (or Pat Buchanan) being among the primary choices.Quote by: Dan74

well, again...socialists tend to be anti-war only until they get power. So I think there is a method to the "madness" of focusing on anti-war Republicans. Most of them seem to mean it, as they generally have to cross their party and pay a price to say it.
As for being required to articulate the point I wanted to debate....uh... it's your forum so I'll try to comply... I uh...wanted to debate the point that U.S. long term occupation is doing more harm than good for the security of Americans?
What are you talking about? America hasn't had a progressive in office for quite some time. I know that someone like Dennis Kucinich or Ralph Nader would not ever engage in a war.
"The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. And just as they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and things, creating something that did not exist before, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service, borrowing from them names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present this new scene in world history in time-honored disguise and borrowed language."
Which socialists are you speaking of? Could you name them please?
Don't bother asking. For years this poster has been simply using this site as a promotional tool for his website and kooky videos.
That's always an indication that they are simply a parrot.
>>Which socialists are you speaking of? Could you name them please?>
Sorry for the slow response. Mussolini is the most infamous example of a socialist who claimed to be anti war until it counted. He was an anti-war agitator until around 1914. Look it up.
Obama is another example, although in fairness he did not proclaim himself to be a socialist...he just is one with some corporatism mixed in.
I agree with Paul on a lot of issues. I would totally vote for him over a blue-dog Dem.
Also, check out this article on Ron Paul and Barney Frank's attempt to take on the MIC.

I completely agree....that you would.
