I would like to talk today about how to develop a new foreign policy direction for our country – one that replaces randomness with purpose

We must as, a nation, be more unpredictable.

I Tried to google it, this is what I was able to find out-

how do you replace randomness and be less predictable

Predictable Evolution Trumps Randomness of Mutations

Stumpf of Imperial College London. Although biologists have observed traits appearing in a particular order, until now no one had documented the genetic basis for those changes.
"It's of interest to know how often the genes that change are the same or different," says biologist Jerry Coyne of the University of Chicago, Illinois. "That tells us how much constraint there is on evolution."

There were more Ron Paul type ideologies in that that in McCain's or Romney's foreign policy.
I want to see the Neo-cons banished, their foreign policy has been bad for America.
They have basically been in control since the fight was won in the 2000 election, under Obama it was just the lite version.

Just read the transcript and I have to say that that was one of the worst speeches I have ever seen.

I am totally flabbergasted that anyone on the RPF would support such a complete lack of knowledge in history, military, and economics- and then have the nerve to blame Iran for everything.

Why in the world would anyone support this man? I'm speechless.

Transcript:

Ron Paul: “Madam Speaker, I have a few questions for my colleagues.

What if our foreign policy of the past century is deeply flawed and has not served our national security interest?

What if we wake up one day and realize that the terrorist threat is the predictable consequence of our meddling in the affairs of others, and has nothing to do with us being free and prosperous?

What if propping up repressive regimes in the Middle East endangers both the United States and Israel?

What if occupying countries like Iraq and Afghanistan and bombing Pakistan is directly related to the hatred directed toward us?

What if someday it dawns on us that losing over 5,000 American military personnel in the Middle East since 9/11 is not a fair tradeoff with the loss of nearly 3,000 American citizens no matter how many Iraqi, Pakistanian, Afghan people are killed or displaced?

What if we finally decide that torture, even if called “enhanced interrogation technique”, is self-destructive and produces no useful information and that contracting it out to a third world nation is just as evil?

What if it is finally realized that war and military spending is always destructive to the economy?

What if all war-time spending is paid for through the deceitful and evil process of inflating and borrowing?

What if we finally see that war-time conditions always undermine personal liberty?

What if Conservatives who preach small government wake up and realize that our interventionist foreign policy provides the greatest incentive to expand the government?

What if Conservatives understood once again that their only logical position is to reject military intervention and managing an empire throughout the world?

What if the American people woke up and understood that the official reasons for going to war are almost always based on lies and promoted by war propaganda in order to serve special interests?

What if we as a nation came to realize that the quest for empire eventually destroys all great nations?

What if Obama has no intention of leaving Iraq?

What if a military draft is being planned for for the wars that would spread if our foreign policy is not changed?

What if the American people learned the truth, that our foreign policy has nothing to do with national security, that it never changes from one administration to the next?

What if war in preparation for war is a racket serving the special interests?

What if President Obama is completely wrong about Afghanistan and it turns out worse than Iraq and Vietnam put together?

What if Christianity actually teaches peace and not preventive wars of aggression?

What if diplomacy is found to be superior to bombs and bribes in protecting America?

What happens if my concerns are completely unfounded?

Nothing.

But what happens if my concerns are justified and ignored?

Nothing good.

And I yield back the balance of my time.”

Here's RP's speech and he what he is promoting is 1000% the opposite of Trump.

Yes, I know that speech inside out. I've shared it many times over the years.

You fail to recognize what Trump's speech represents and how it advances the most of the ideals and goals in Ron's speech. Hence, my comment.

"1000% opposite"?

Point by point, I can find only one "opposite of Trump":

I missed the part of Trump advancing Ron's goals and ideas by telling the media in an interview in 2011 that Ron doesn't have an Isreal centric foreign policy and that he would run 3rd party if Ron was the nominee.

I have a feeling that Trump supporters are extremely lonely or have a really bad situation going on in their real life, so they escape into this fantasy candidate that is an infomercial that sells poison.

That would be libertarians.

What the $#@! are you people talking about? He's talking nuclear expansion, alliances with defacto dictators, more aggressive intervention when intervention is done, and intervention purely on behalf of "American Interests"- whatever the hell those are...?

Wait, I'm confused. I don't see any of the above in openfire's bullet point summary...

a few summary points, just typing as I hear them:

• getting out of the business of nation building
• need for a coherent foreign policy based on American interests
• be prepared to let countries defend themselves if they don't pay their share
• stop wars to "spread western democracy" in countries not interested in democracy (Iraq, Libya, etc)
• take care of veterans
• focus on stability in the M.E., not radical change
• desire to live peacefully with Russia and China
• easing of tensions with Russia, end hostilities
• fix relations with China for peace and prosperity
• NATO outdated - redefine mission to deal with migration (i think he just said)
• will never send troops unless absolutely necessary
• goal is peace and prosperity, not war and destruction
• caution and restraint
• surrounding himself with people with practical ideas, not warmongers (neocons)
• use ideas to inspire positive reforms, not military intervention
• too much destruction
• American politicians too interested in defending foreign borders than their own
• first priority is taking care of Americans
• not bowing to globalism
• no agreements giving foreign powers authority over American affairs
• no American should feel that their needs come second to the needs of citizens of foreign countries

What gives?

Yes, you are correct:

Why Donald Trump Supporters Are Voting Alone

 

[Bossobass]

Well Trump is designed to punch the RNC-establishment platform to help Hillary...

Looks like it's working on lots of you Never Trump guys...

I don't know I would vote for Clinton over Trump just over the fact that […fill in the blank with any random baloney…]

Honestly, saying something as absurd as "I would vote for Hillary before I vote for Trump because…." is all you have to say and then please stop talking… we get it… you're certifiably insane.

So, where's the FBI profile of a Never Trump supporter? Just follow the slime trail?
