Judge Napolitano - "DeMint will bring libertarians back into the GOP"

[NIU Students for Liberty]

Heritage never came around to advocating a non-interventionist foreign policy and I don't expect them to now. As someone earlier stated in this thread, foreign policy is a deal breaker for me. Hell, I'd take Cato over Heritage at this point.

Heritage never will come around to advocating a non-interventionist foreign policy. They will, however, come around to advocating a less-interventionist foreign policy and that can only be a good thing.

What I think you mean is a still-interventionist foreign policy. Which means still going around killing innocents, still having permanent bases both wasting our money and harassing the politics of other nations in which the bases are installed. I don't think 75% killing is much better than 100% killing -- people are still dying, and that is what needs to be stopped.

If a serial killer goes from killing 20 people per year to 10 people per year, is that really an improvement?

Foreign policy is the #1 issue for many of us, and a deal breaker if someone is too willing to allow current wars to continue at all or would be willing to start new wars of aggression. Closer is not good enough. There is no liberty involved in going around killing people recklessly. Either he's with us 100% on this, or he's not.

That 'all or nothing' attitude will get us nowhere.

 

[Yieu]

That 'all or nothing' attitude will get us nowhere.

Compromise will get us more of the same. Compromise on this particular issue means allowing the deaths of numerous innocents, and that will get us nowhere. That is not progress toward liberty.

DeMint apologists:

Please show me DeMint's sterling voting record when Democrats weren't in control of the Senate and/or White House.

Hint: You won't find it

"He's now the most powerful Republican in town. He has an extraordinary megaphone. This is not inside the beltway story. This is a Jim DeMint is the leader of the conservative Republicans in the country story. And they could haven't a nicer, more true to core values, or more articulate spokesman than they have as of today. Ask me if I'm happy."

Thanks!

Yes. It is an improvement.

(Just ask any one of the 10 people who end up not being killed ...)

I guess it would be for the ten people he *didn't* kill....

But from a moral perspective, your point is quite valid.


EDIT: Dang it all, Occam, ya beat me to it. That's what I get for taking a snack break before hitting the "post" button....
