Is a neo-con welcome?

welcome

Let's start by me guessing your world view

You believe in limited government - you are a conservative because you have a humble view of what government can accomplish. Yet you throw it all out the window when it comes to our military. It's quite likely that you have a long list of mistakes we have made domestically, but you generally approve of each and every war we have been involved in. You have no problems with the 130 countries we occupy around the world and feel the number one risk to our country is Islamic fundamentalism.

So, how did I do?

Haha. :) The least you might end up with are some finely-cooked ribs and chicken.

Here's a comment from the article: "It begs the question: how exactly does one get one's hands on a flamethrower? I ask merely out of curiosity. And out of a desire for a flamethrower."
 
To Zeichen!

Welcome to the Ron Paul Forums! It's nice of you to join us. :)

I have a request for you: I want you to watch the following 3 videos whenever you have the free time to, so you'll see what our movement is all about. If you watch all 3 and tell us your opinions of them, I definitely think that you'll be welcome here. All 3 videos can be viewed on Google Video.

The first one is called "America: Freedom To Fascism", it's about the IRS and the Federal Reserve. The movie argues that neither one of these things should exist, because they place the power of the government in the hands of a select few, shady people.

The next one is called "The Energy Non-Crisis". Since you said you support McCain, this one should be of interest to you. He said on the radio this morning that he want to make America energy independent. This video is like an "obscure history lesson" that will show why it's going to be extremely hard to do that. It also explains why gasoline is $4 a gallon today.

The third one is called "Money As Debt", and it explains why the current monetary system of the United States is just awful (and also unconstitutional) and needs to be changed immediately. If you ever hear Ron Paul talk about "monetary policy", you'll understand what he means after watching this.

Happy viewing. :D
 
I'll try to watch the videos when I have more time.

As to the prediction of my views... Yeah, I believe government generally damages the economy by unneeded intervention, and is inefficient and wasteful. In some cases intervention must be done, but carefully and only when necessary. Socially, I tend to support the individual's right to do what he wants, so long as it doesn't hurt others (as I believe drugs and abortion do). Religious beliefs do come in sometimes, but, for example, while I do not support gay marriage, I'd be okay with civil unions.

As to foreign policy, I do support the war on terrorists and our involvement in foreign nation as essential to maintaining our (probably temporary) position as world leader. And actually, no, I don't think Islamic fundamentalism is the greatest danger to us. Rivals, such as China, Russia, Japan, the EU, and India are, as well as the natural progressions of decline (i fear we may follow Europe's example). However, it is an immediate threat, and we ought to smash it now, while we don't have any other fish to fry.

But that's a completely different topic, and I have no intention of arguing that here. Cheers.
 
Welcome from a former Rudy supporter. Looks like I had the exact same political philosophy as you did just 8 months ago.

Shoot away with the questions.

EDIT: Oh, and I just realized that the link in my signature (RonPaulIsWrong.com) might be right up your alley.

Check on wasteful. Intervention only when necessary: please site the cases when it was necessary and how the federal government helped.
Check on individual rights, but how do drugs tend to hurt others?
 
Well..I would say killing and stealing to get money or things to buy drugs would be hurting others. Drug deals gone wrong hurt others. If they are legalized ...maybe that would stop the drug crimes. I think crack cocaine might make people aggressive. Meth would also. It depends on the drug. I consider pot ok. It has a tendency to mellow people out. Alcohol causes aggression in many people.
 
What is a Neo Con? Neo Con means new conservative. That would be the far left loons who migrated to the Republican Party due to the political philosophy of Leo Strauss, a political science professor at University of Chicago. the first neo con was Irving Kristol, father of William Kristol. Paul Wolfowitz got his PHD under Leo Strauss. Leo Strauss was a russian immigrant of jewish /atheist persuasion...a bolshevik communist , who was a former Trotskyite. He altered his worldview when he came here to go to the right. He considered using religion as a tool to control the masses..but he was an athiest. He believed the masses needed to be lied to in order to convince them to carry out the neo con agenda of expanding the USA..Imperialism to control the world. He believed in lots o war. This is all on the internet for you to research. I did. I am appalled at the Neo Conservative philosophy and the sooner we kick those jerks to the curb, the better. Here are some more neo cons. Libby, Feith, Kristol, Abrams, Schiff and Richard Pearle. TONES
 
I don't support 100% of Ron pauls position, but to me the fight for Liberty is not about agreeing with ron paul its about getting back to a political system that respects the constitution and respects the american people. there can be liberal and conservative candidates that differ on many issues, but still pay the proper respect due to the law of the land. I'm not a republican or a conservative, i come from very liberal lines of thought, but rather than just rallying behind a party or a figure head, I pick and choose my own battles carefully. Thats why despite my difference in platform, there is a bigger far more imporant battle to be fought right now. There will be plenty of time left for bipartisan bickering once the republic is restored to its former glory. Without that, nothing else is worth while.
 
Hey there I wonder how you would feel if what you wanted for your life was made illegal?

I am pro-life but I am sure making abortion illegal would not stop abortion. I don't think government ought to pay for it with my tax money. I think males and females need to take more responsibility for their actions especially their sexual action and parents need to be more open with their children and help them to understand that sex is not for kids.

As far as gay marriage goes I mean really what business is it of the governments or of yours or mine who someone chooses to partner with if they are a consenting adult? Making gay marriage illegal will not stop gay people from being together and it will not end homosexuality. What is the big deal what someone else does?

If being a Christian was illegal would you stop being a Christian? I doubt it....
