It is too late for any of this, Republicans are already convinced that Ahmadinejad is the Devil and Iran is the new Nazi Germany.

Listen to neocon Dennis Miller's show sometime and you'll understand what we are up against, when you realize that the neocons consider Syria "radical Islamists" even though Assad's regime doesn't persecute Christians (10% of Syria's population is Christian) you discover that "radical Islamist"...

The propaganda is reality for the Republicans who consume it. The world of the Fox News viewer is an upside down world where Iran is threatening to attack us and we are defending ourselves. The reason they want Paul to answer questions like this is that they think their view of Iran as aggressor...

The reason there are so many of these hypotheticals is because there's a lot of macho posturing in the GOP, these are the same people who think that if a Democrat had been President on 9-11 he would have "taken it like a bitch and not fought back".

This will be crucial

You are right. People who live entirely in the Fox News-neocon media world develop the distorted view that 70% of Americans hate Obama and that any Republican could beat him. What these people can't understand is that Gingrich especially is a loser candidate who is hated by Independents...

But that's exactly my point, the moral crusader mentality which was developed at that time by religious extremism has been expanded to include events all over the Earth.

I think they don't really care about small government. What Republicans claim they want and what they truly want are vastly different. It reminds me of those surveys where women say that what they value the most in a man is a sense of humor but then you notice how this "sense of humor" is...

Isn't it odd that they want someone who they view can win in the primary? But they won't vote for Paul to actually help him win a primary? :rolleyes:

I've been reading about the America First movement of Charles Lindbergh prior to Pearl Harbor and there's an aspect I discovered which suggests a favorable trend to our work today. The South was pro-war in 1940-1941 just as they are today. The America First movement was despised in the South...

I found it significant that Ron Paul did better in Iowa in the counties closer to Illinois than on the other side of the state next to Nebraska. Another thing to consider is that the Midwest was the Heartland of the anti-war movement in the U.S. in 1940-1941.

Hitler was born in Austria so he had a lot of support there. The Nazis conquered territory for resources. In contrast, the average neocon in America supports worldwide wars for morality, they have the view that if any government in the world doesn't share "American values" they should be subject...

There's no difference between caucus states and primary states in terms of who they want to vote for, Romney and Gingrich are 1 and 2 in Minnesota just as they are in most other states.

Neocons don't think logically, they accuse Ron Paul of being like Neville Chamberlain and wanting to "appease" Iran when Iran hasn't actually conquered any foreign territory.

Nazi Germany didn't conquer other territories in the name of "moral responsibility", what the poster is writing about is a Calvinist mentality unique to America. Think of John Brown's illegal raid to "protest against slavery" and you can better understand the kind of moral crusader attitude that...
