Or, Duncan Hunter. I'm liking him more and more.

If it came down to it, I'd vote for Ron Paul over Hillary, and I'm not a Ron Paul fan. I think he could do less harm to the country in four years than Hillary could. And, he would probably appoint strict constructionists to the Supreme Court, whereas Hillary would certainly appoint Ginsburg type socialists. Whether or not he could get them confirmed is another question.

Pelosi and Democrats show more of their true colors....

Anyone remember the article I linked yesterday? The Capitol Architect (acting) refuses to put inscriptions containing the word "God" on certificates accompanying flags flown over the U.S. Capitol. I'm sure, however, that if someone wanted to pledge allegience to Allah, it would be fine.

Here is Pelosi's response:

Asked about the issue today at a press luncheon, Pelosi said the
architect's policy was adopted because "people were asking for
statements that not only were religious, beyond using the word God, but
political as well." She said the official policy is to send a
certificate that lists nothing beyond the date the flag flew over the
Capitol and the name of its recipient. She said that members of
Congress who request flags on behalf of constituents can "add whatever
they wish" to the certificates, "whether it is a political statement or
a religious statement."

So, not only does she hate the beliefs that this country was founded on, she is also passing the buck. She has made a unilateral decision changing what I'm sure was a long-standing policy that is totally in conflict with the free-speech and freedom of religion rights that they claim to defend and believe in.

Hypocrit.

Thomas Paine, Dec. 23, 1776

"She said the official

"She said the official policy is to send a certificate "that lists nothing beyond the date the flag flew over the Capitol and the name of its recipient."

I guess times have changed since I worked on the Hill and actually processed these requests for constituents.  When I was there, constituents could request certificates indicating for whom, when, and why they wanted the flag flown.  From my recollection they (meaning the office of the Architect) would put pretty much whatever somebody wanted on the certificate (within reason, obviously).  I even got a few myself...I requested one flown for my dad's birthday, and one for my brother's wedding.  We used to do them all the time for Eagle Scout awards and various veterans groups in honor of various people and events.  Including those details made the occasion personal and special and went well beyond name and date. 

It saddens me that a place where I am so proud to have worked is slowly becoming unrecognizable, much like the rest of this country.

What has happened to Thompson in the last couple months?  He looks sickly.  While looks should not be the primary credential for electing someone into the White House, they should look as if they aren't in need of a mega B-12 shot.  And, for an actor, he sure doesn't seem very easily spoken when answering a question.  I really had high hopes for Thompson, but he seems to need a jump ...

However, when you are standing in a field of many you should look more like a rose with some bloom left on it, for pete's sake.  I blame whoever is responsible for making sure Fred's appearance is ready for prime time ... and the fact that he's been in the Hollywood world of make-up and appearance techniques makes it even more obvious someone "handling" him and his campaign is missing the boat here.

Jimbo made a good point.  The Presidency ages ya.  I am wondering why Fred has seemed to have lost that scowling eagle look he had of just a couple months ago.  I want to see THAT Fred standing up there, and, more importantly, sounding stronger when he answers questions.

Rally online with fans of Dr. Ron Paul.

MR. MATTHEWS: Okay. Same

MR. MATTHEWS: Okay. Same question -- deadline, gentlemen, it's so important. Congressman Paul, do you believe the president needs authorization of Congress to attack strategic targets in Iran, nuclear facilities?

REP. PAUL: Absolutely. This idea of going and talking to attorneys totally baffles me. Why don't we just open up the Constitution and read it? You're not allowed to go to war without a declaration of war.

Now, as far as fleeting enemies go, yes, if there's an imminent attack on us, we'd never had that happen in 220 years. The thought that the Iranians could pose an imminent attack on the United States is preposterous. There's no way. This is just -- This is just war propaganda, continual war propaganda, preparing this nation to go to war and spread this war, not only in Iraq but into Iran, unconstitutionally. It is a road to disaster for us as a nation. It's a road to our financial disaster if we don't read the Constitution once in a while.

 

MR. GIULIANI: It really depends on exigency of the circumstances and how legitimate it is that it really is an exigent circumstance. It's desirable. It's safer to go to Congress, get approval from Congress. If you're really dealing with exigent circumstance, then the president has to act in the best interests of the country.

And the point -- I think it was Congressman Paul -- made before, that we've never had an imminent attack -- I don't know where he was on September 11th. (Laughter.)

REP. PAUL: That was no country. (Applause.) That was 19 thugs. It has nothing to do with a country.

MR. GIULIANI: And there have been -- and since September -- well, I think it was kind of organized in Afghanistan and Pakistan. And if we had known about it, maybe hitting a target there quickly might have helped prevent it.

In any event, we've had 23 plots since September 11th where Islamic terrorists are planning to kill Americans, that we've had to stop. So imminent attack is a possibility and we should be ready for it.

THE RUDY GETS A BIG OLE SHACKITY SKACK SHACK SHACK WITH A BIG SERIES OF SECONDARIES.....

Sorry Mr. Paul but.....

You've missed it with Iran.  They could pose an imminent threat to the United States, and probably would if they knew that the world as they knew it wouldn't crumble around them in an instant.   Every time one of our ships passes through the Strait of Hormuz the threat is VERY imminent.  So, he may have been right about 19 thugs, but he was quite wrong about the imminent Iranian threat.

Problem with Islamic

Problem with Islamic fascists is that they usually do not care about the world situation as much, or see it in the same light we do.  (Their valued Centers of Gravity are different than what we perceive them to be)

After all, if your goal is "the return of hidden Mahdi" who is supposedly down a well and will not return until Israel and the US are destroyed ala the return of the Caliphate, and this occurs regardless of destruction of Iran as a state, then "Crumbling" is immaterial.

But do agree that they can serve as a threat anywhere, anytime.

Wonder what Paul considers an attack?

What about Pearl Harbor, wasnt that an attack within the last 220 years? For that matter the Alamo too. How many more "thugs" would be attacking us if we had not pursued them over there?

Ron Paul is a petulant, simplistic Republitarian

...who appeals to simplistic minds.   

He's in denial about the proper place of the United States in the world.

Perhaps most telling about the real Ron Paul is his petulant attitude toward supporting the eventual Republican nominee.

 

"Harry Reid is a complete buffoon."  -Lou Dobbs

Perhaps most telling about

Perhaps most telling about the real Ron Paul is his petulant attitude toward supporting the eventual Republican nominee.

I believe that is because he is simply using the Republican platform to gain name recognition and a whiff of respectability which he is not availed as a libertarian. 

When he eventually folds his standard following the second primary, he will retreat to the Libertarian lines and continue his fight from there with increased funding, name recognition, and credibility.

 

Great points, BD

I agree that Ron Paul is using the Republican debates in an attempt to increase name recognition.  His admission that he would not support the eventual Republican nominee is proof that running as a "Republican" is a convenient lie....and I think most libertarians understand that. 

The other thing about Ron Paul that elicits the ewww factor is the abundance of extremist goofballs who support him.  (Not necessarily speaking of you, sarky)

Concur on the "Ewwww"

Will you promise me that when he does you will NOT support him?

If you will not, you are not a Republican and need to PERMANENTLY hide the libertarian party.

Nope.

I've conflated no such thing, and I was pleasantly surprised by the big money, which got media respect rather suddenly, whether you like it or not.

I don't need to promise that, he already did, and the clueless were not listening. Again.

Will you admit the word "when" looks even more clueless than you usually look, which is "considerably"?

Paul seems to be caught up in an old 20th century paradigm that wars are fought between states alone.

In a comment he made regarding Irans possession of nuclear capability in a debate several months ago, he tried to equivocate the Cold war with a future conflict with Iran.  In his comments he stated he believed we could hold Iran in check due to the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) as we had the Soviets until their economy gave out.

He obviously misses the fact that wars are no longer as clean in the 21st Century. 

"IF" Iran were to serreptitiously provide a terrorist group from, let us say Ulan Bator Mongolia a low yield nuclear weapon for delivery into San Francisco Harbor and subsequent detonation, what would be the MAD concept if we are not able to adequately determine who provided it? 

Are we going to retaliate against the Ukraine, Russia, North Korea, China, France, Pakistan, India, South Africa, Israel, and Great Britain because they all have the requisite capability?

Or should we solely limit our options to attacks in Ulan Bator?

He, and by extension his philosophy are obviously out of the league in discussing these issues.

What are the chances you are going to hear about a British judge's findings of fact regarding "An Inconvenient Truth:"

In order for the film to be shown, the Government must first amend their Guidance Notes to Teachers to make clear that 1.) The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 2.) If teachers present the Film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination. 3.) Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children.

The inaccuracies are:

* The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government’s expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.


* The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years. The Court found that the film was misleading: over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.


* The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that it was “not possible” to attribute one-off events to global warming.


* The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that
