Thanks James H! When it comes to this subject I am a grouch. I get so frustrated when I hear neocons talk anymore. Ron Paul will win the debates if they stick to the issues. I certainly don’t trust the media.

Did U notice C Wallace does not address the Israel issue Sunday like was done on the S Carolina debate B/c if you're losing the debate one tactic is to ignore it & maybe that's what C Wallace determined ? I also liked the way Ron turned the tables on Pakistan by sighting W Bush ... Classic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ron is doing a much better job at aggressively making his points & not just thinking peeps will get it by just stating your thoughts & then just backing off This bodes well. Sometimes that hail Mary pass scores against all odds Its easy to point out everything that can go wrong But it takes Guts , Hard Work & Dogged Determination ....... If You're Gonna WIN IT !!!!!!!!!!! [Please provide links to the issue you are discussing. Also, see Posting Policy: full sentences and words, etc, so everyone can get it.]

Greg, you had better take a good look at yourself. You’re starting to sound like me and everybody knows what a radical grouch I am.

I love your brain, Ilana! You are so economical with your words, so directly on target, and so in synch with my thoughts that I’ve held for so many years. I’m glad to see that you don’t defer to the ‘feel good’ side of issues, but are a truly principled thinker. Especially your reaction to the NATO/US involvement in Libya. Obviously, it’s not spectacularly popular, but is so true to spirit and form, that it makes me want to run another mile, just to use up that energy reading your blog gives me.

The left, in particular will not let the use of the word slavery go unpunished. How dare a well off white man say he could be made to feel like a slave. The majority of people in this country are ignorant and can not think below the surface. I believe Rand will not go unpunished for this remark. The sick, perverted media will do everything they can to destroy him and his father. I’m willing to bet a years pay on this.

Will we on the Right forever be forced to pick from the best of the worse? I guess the Lefties could say the same thing.

Socialist Rep. Bernie Sanders doesn’t get it. After Sen.Paul made his “slave” statement, Sanders asked a govt.employed physician whether she felt like a slave – she said no. She took up a spot in medical school knowing she would never enter private practice and work as hard as a doctor who graduated in 1960 would have worked once. In projecting how many physicians will be needed now and in the future, old formulae won’t work – we will need twice as many “slaves” with their non-vested 8-5 mentality (this applies to both men and women).

When Rand Paul was running in Kentucky I wasn’t quite sure what to make of him. His Neocon-Lite foreign policy statement gave me some doubts as to how much his father had rubbed off on him and his willingness to raise the debt limit gave me pause. I was hoping that once he got to D.C. he would see (and smell) the sausage factory for what it was and lean more constitutionalist in his opinions. It starting to sound like he is and that’s a god thing.

At 74, Ron is probably a bit old to be running for President but he does articulate the truth (which, translated into Mainstream Media-ese means he is a “nutcase”).

Gary Johnson, not perfect (nor is R.P.) is generally a friend of freedom and the eternal (vs. “living”) Constitution. I see how Lew Rockwell trashes him but then they go after every “deviation” from their idea of perfection (I can only guess that Ilana’s “crime” was, aside utter intellectual independence, to do with Israel, immigration, minarchism, absence of Utopianism, etc) which, of course, is not conducive to actually raising a liberty “coalition” that can win elections. I would certainly prefer a Gary Johnson over the Bushes and Obamas and Romneys that get offered up by the Mainstream…

Rand has had his flubs but the fight for the remnants of the small-r republics of America (as opposed to the Leviathan whereby Presidents march everyone to war on a whim) needs all the fighters it can.
