A good idea’s time has come. From Ron Paul at ronpaulinstitute.org:
Even Republican stalwarts like current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are starting to notice that something is shifting in the party. While McConnell announced recently that he would step down as Republican leader in the US Senate, in an interview last week he was adamant that he would continue to serve out his term in the Senate with one purpose in mind: “fighting back against the isolationist movement in my own party.”
He sounds worried.
What McConnell deems to be “isolationism” had for much of our history been called America’s traditional foreign policy. There have been major exceptions, but until the emergence of the neoconservatives starting in the late 1970s we largely adhered to the words of John Quincy Adams that America, “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.”
Why is that? The idea had always been that we would have more influence on freedom worldwide by concentrating on demonstrating the benefits of a free-market economy and protection of our Constitutional liberties at home. The US would lead the world by example rather than leading at the barrel of a gun.
Comrade Johnson (Israel) will carry the turkey neck torch but can he serve two masters like Mitch?
Saved that agitprop graffiti spray let them eat neck meat in Turkey Neck’s gated subdivision sector where some comrades are a little more equal.
Rand Paul could outsource dangerous landscape and lawn care but he isn’t a poser.
In a perfect world Ron Paul would be preezy of the steezy and RF would be an ally.
No such world exists.
