*Nothing* that the democrats have done, in *my* opinion, compares to the trampling and shredding of our rights done when the USAPATRIOT Act (it's full name) was passed.

I should amend that to mean no SINGLE action. We've been being bled from a thousand papercuts from both parties for a long time.

As I said, Paul's a good start. I wouldn't go all the way with him on his isolationism, but I would certainly support a few pullbacks. I'm tired of being the world cop. I'm tired of having people hate us everywhere. I'm tired of being the DoD for a lot of foreign countries so that they can take that money and invest it in their domestic priorities. I'm tired of the boogeymen.

We seem to be on our way to our next Iraq when it comes to Iran. Remember - M.A.D. worked when it was us against the USSR. AhmaNutJob *has* to know that there won't BE an Iran if they get a nuke and deploy it against Israel. There probably won't be a Mecca shortly thereafter - just for good measure.
