`Ho....Ho...Ho...`

by Gene Hoyas:

".....Every family has a whackadoo relative – usually an uncle or an aunt of elderly comportment – who is indisputably insane but does exhibit lucidity with sufficient frequency to risk seating next to grandma at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Thus the sorry spectacle of Rep. Ron Paul, whose domestic political platform is a Constitutional Conservative’s wet dream, filled with luscious visions of enumerated powers, minimal taxation and regulation and maximal personal liberty – including a respect for the right to life of all humans, born and unborn. On that basis alone, most conservatives are filled with tremendous respect and support for Dr. Paul.

`Does he know nothing about Islam’s ongoing jihad against Christendom since the mid 8th century? Is he not aware that all of the Middle East, Asia Minor and North Africa was once Christian but became Muslim under the sword after these barbarians poured out of the Arabian desert on mission to take over the world? Has anyone on his staff not ever taken the time to explain to him that the people of Iberia fought for 700 years – the longest sustained war in human history – to expel the Muslims from their lands?..." ~

Well summed up. Paul is no Reagan. We need a Reagan-type and I don't know who that is. Naivete in foreign policy in the situation NOW would spell disaster for the USA and maybe everyone else.
