Testing, Testing, Ron Paul, Testing.

Despite my distaste for modern science, I couldn’t help but wonder if Beth’s assertion had any merit. In the interest of the empirical process I thought I’d give it a go.
So, anyway, Ron Paul is an isolationist hack that doesn’t seem to realize that you can’t be an isolationist when people are lining up to travel to your house just so they can kick you in the jimmy.
Ron Paul is a delusional tool:
At the same time, we must not isolate ourselves. The generosity of the American people has been felt around the globe. Many have thanked God for it, in many languages. Let us have a strong America, conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.
So, we shouldn’t entangle ourselves in foreign affairs…except of course to trade with them. And travel to them. And have diplomatic relations with them. Which of course would lead to things like trade treaties. Which lead to real treaties. Which lead to military obligations and charges of American Imperialism and makes a target of our trade partners. Which would put us right back where we are. If, that is, the terrorists didn’t just decide to start knocking us off back here in the good ol’ U.S. of A. Which of course they would. Good idea Ron. It’d be much better to fight ‘em right here.

Make sure you ping Technorati, if you want the moonbats to show up.
Typical Ron Paultard argument in favor of him:
“But he’s for things you’re for, right? Lower taxes, pro-life, pro-second amendment!”
Nevermind that batshit crazy John Birch Society foreign policy and that whole conspiracy-mongering thing he’s got goin’ on. Details, details.

Hey thanks for the heads up! I’m curious to see how this turns out. I feel like a MythBuster, probably Adam.
Why would you need trade treaties? Just let people trade. They can do it on their own. They don’t need pieces of paper from congress to do it.
And having treaties doesn’t mean we have military obligations to other countries. We didn’t have those until after WWII and we did just fine.
Four hours. Not bad considering the blog has been largely inactive for more than a year.
Is he for real?
Holy crap, you guys are the biggest fucking tools ever.
