If only YouTube had existed in 2000…

In October of 2000 I was a reporter with an independent newspaper. And – through legitimate channels mind ya – I had been given an invitation to attend a rally for George W. Bush during the presidential debate at Wake Forest University. I was hoping to get a chance to ask Bush a few questions: nothing rude mind ya, but I was gonna try to make the most of the opportunity.

Bush staff found out that some “non-corporate” journalists were there and sent Winston-Salem police to track us down. One of them demanded to see my driver’s license and I asked why. About then a Bush staffer with a bullhorn came over and told me that I should do what she says “because whenever someone in a uniform tells you something you’re supposed to obey.”

This guy demanded to see my invitation. He ...

I missed this the first time but it’s been confirmed: during tonight’s debate (actually last night’s debate since it’s now way early Wednesday morning) Rudolph Giuliani said that we need to use the American military for more “nation building”.

Seven years ago George W. Bush said that we shouldn’t engage in “nation-building”. He went ahead and did it anyway. It didn’t work. And now tonight Giuliani said he wants to do more of it.

If this guy does get nominated and then winds up actually elected President, then… I don’t know what else to say, except that we will be screwed as a nation and we will probably have deserved it.

Like I said last month: when the “front runner” of the Republican party is a pro-abortion, anti-Second Amendment, pro-amnesty for illegals, pro-“nation building”, pro-big government in every way, drag queen…

…there is something very, very wrong with ...

And I don’t know how to say it any plainer than that.

There is going to be amnesty for millions of illegals, as of tonight. That deranged man-child known as the President of the United States has seen to that and is practically laughing about it.

(And the Democrats in Congress were all too willing to help… with a little aid from too many Republicans.)

I have said it before, and I will say it again: if we cannot maintain strong borders and enforce them, then we are no longer a sovereign nation.

The two-party system is absolutely bankrupt of principle or any other value. I already knew that to be true of the Democrat party. And as of this week, it’s glaringly obvious to all but those who choose to be most blind that it is true of the Republican party also.

Let’s face it: when the “front runner” ...

He’s right.

The biggest attacks against Dr. Paul for his comments on terrorism and 9/11 are coming mostly from those who proudly call themselves “neoconservatives”: the ones who can’t get enough of American intervention in the rest of the world. And that’s what has invited so much hatred against America to begin with. I defy anyone to tell me that there hasn’t been a correlation between our trying to be the world’s policeman, and anti-American sentiment.

As for Rudy Giuliani’s tantrum: to me it seemed more like an act of desperation than something of solid principle. So he took what Paul said out of context and tried to spin it to make Paul look like a “kook”.

But I’ve no problem with what Ron Paul said last night. It was an honest and intelligent answer. What else are we supposed to want out of a potential future President?...
