The fact that a war mongering, big government Republicrat butt-licker like Sean Hannity likes this guy should give pause to any liberty-minded person.
Maybe it's just me, but in this interview the good Colonel sounds just like any other war mongering, pro-security state Republicrat.
I'm not a resident of the district he is running in, so my opinion means nothing, but I can tell you one thing and that is that he is not any "leader" I am interested in. Besides that, I am a grown man with full confidence in myself and my capabilities. I am not a sheep that needs to be led. I neither need nor do I want someone to lead me from the cesspool of Washington DC, nor anywhere else for that matter. What I want is someone who will get the government the hell out of my way while representing my interests - the Constitution. IMHO, this person does not fit those qualifications.
Right! The "Tea Party" movement is not our movement, not Ron Paul movement.
Only if he supports RP or has him as VP.
That's a stupid statement that does not represent my beliefs. I'll tell you the exact same thing I told ferret yesterday when it comes to Ron Paul:
I do not place my hope in Ron Paul or anyone else. I place my hope in the principles of liberty that he expresses. Man is fallible, to include Ron Paul, while his ideas are based upon principles that have been developed throughout history by some of the greatest minds the world has known. While the moralities of a society may change, the principles by which a person can live as a free man do not change. They are set in concrete. It is up to us to ensure that we remain true to those principles as best as we can or suffer the consequences if/when we do not.
I posted to you West's stand on the issues. I listened to his speeches. He is a run of the mill Republicrat and as such does not hold to the morals or values that I believe in. He lives by a different set of principles than I do, as it seems, do you.
If you want to live in a police/security state in the name of the war on terror, and spend an indeterminate number of years spreading democracy throughout the Middle East in the name of the apartheid state of Israel, then more power to you. You'll not get any support from me however.
