Ron Paul looks to block military operations in Syria

Might be your #1 issue. I came to the team because I'm a fiscal conservative. Now not spending all the money on our foreign policy is important but no where near my top thing on the list.

Indeed, non-interventionism is our #1 issue and should be our #1 campaign platform at all times.

are you saying that you don't believe in non-interventionism or that you just don't consider it the most important issue?

I see it as on top of the list, but not everyone empathizes with the great suffering we are causing but might consider the financial burden since it more directly impacts them.

Although I personally support the rebels and oppose the regime, we as Americans must remember its just not our damn problem. The government cares about Iran and oil not the Syrian people and if we intervened the country would be in ruins by the time we left.

The Free Syrian Army. Although there are also extremist Islamist groups that fight the regime they are small and have no power in the Syrian National Council which is the official opposition government.

I see non-interventionism as a prerequisite to fiscal conservatism, therefore taking precedence over it. Can't be fiscally conservative and spend money on needless wars.

Morally, as I see it, the death we are causing is overseas is the prime evil we are committing, followed by the rights violated right here in America, and the tax slavery issue (1. that we are taxed, 2. inflation, 3. least importantly, the national debt) are the top issues.

But in order to tackle any of those issues, including achieving fiscal sanity, you must first end the wars and become non-interventionist or there will always be a violent money leak.

Overtly loud "Hmmmmm". Where have I seen this scenario play out before?

You'd think we'd stop funding rebels after what we've been through in the past decade. You'd think.

Because they're not rebels, they're U.S. Government employees.

Did you seriously just try to prove me wrong and end up proving me right?

War for "humanitarian reasons" is what justified our staying in Iraq after no WMDs were found. You simply stated a misrepresentation, if not a flat-out lie, of Johnson's policy position on this issue, and I called you out for it. I most certainly did *not* prove you correct.

Also...what the hell?

I suppose you'd like to suggest that the continent of Africa *isn't* savage and *doesn't* contain mostly low societal standards?

RON PAUL was very much against this way back in 2012.
What Trump inherited from the previous two administrations
is a jumbled mess that he has compounded in a tragic way.

Timely, given how close Donald Trump was to invading Iran.
