Mark Levin: Rand Paul “soft on national security…way too liberal”

I really don't like the way things are going with the polls showing that the American people are now becoming more in favor of military interventions and world policing. It just seems like all the progress we made on that front just vanished after the rise of ISIS. I really hope things turn around by 2016. It's not looking good now. I hope I'm just being overly pessimistic and it's not as bad as it looks.

its just a little disheartening because many were skeptical or becoming skeptical of our foreign policy so you think this would bring them totally on the side of non-interventionism since our futile intervention in Iraq and the recent syrian rebel interventions have precipitated this ISIS event.. and that is negating the idea that ISIS is intelligence-backed(which I suspect but is debatable)

we are in this mess precisely because of our interventionism and it really is not something that is difficult to grasp or come to on your own.. or at least that's what I thought... but people's fears are shutting off their critical thinking once again.
 
Ugh. Comments like that from Levin definitely leave a mark (and will probably show up in the next batch of polls).

Serious question: are guys like Levin being purposely obtuse or do they really/honestly not understand Rand's FP?? To me, his FP is super clear and plenty tough (when expressed in Jacksonian language). If they are being obtuse on purpose, then why isn't Rand (or advisors like Stafford doing more to directly address and/or CONFRONT their crocodile "concerns"??

I'd say too "tough." I still don't see what separates Levin from a neoconservative.

He claims to oppose nation building and spreading democracy now, but he certainly didn't have a problem with it during the Bush years. He was one of the biggest defenders of the war in Iraq.
