Good God, everyone in this thread needs to calm down. I don't see where a humorous but collectivist comment deserves anywhere near the kind of backlash I just read. Don't forget that we're on the same side, and remember that maturity will go a long way towards furthering our cause.

it didn't. But when you combine it with other post he's made of late, then yes it did.

Thank you for injecting some sense into this dialogue, RyanRSheets.

Or you could look at it another way... our candidates only chances of winning depend on an economic collapse.

As I said a while ago, our only real shot this year is Rand. The people on this forum who think the election was stolen and that Medina was going to win need to get off the Haldol and realize we have fringe candidates... Which is not a bad thing, but the majority of the people in this country will never align with our views... not on a statewide/country basis. Change will come via local elections, us congress, and hopefully the senate.

EDIT: And Rubio in Florida -> Obviously

I agree with much of what you write but I am not sure about Rubio. I sent him the following email last week and have not received a response:

I received a letter from your campaign today. Before I commit to support you I need to ask where you stand on the vast world wide American empire.

I am a retired military patriot and a Ron Paul Republican. I cannot support those old guard Republicans that seek perpetual war (neocons). During my 22 years of military service I served on several of our overseas military bases. I have three brothers that retired from the military and I have three sons that served in the military -- one retired and another just put in for his retirement.

Having said that, IMHO, our Representatives in Congress should have to explain to the American taxpayers why we have over 700 military bases overseas. What is the purpose of those bases and who is benefiting from them? The cold war has been over for a number of years now; the rationale for having those bases to stem the advancement of communism and block the Soviet Union is no longer valid. Having those bases overseas is a waste of the taxpayers money. If anything, we need those bases here in the US to support the local economies and protect our borders. The global corporations can pay for their own hired guns (Blackwater) if they need protection. Please respond

Sincerely,
Charles Wilson
