Ron Paul answers a question from a medical marijuana patient

[Markass]

That is true, Reaper. A vote for Paul would just be wasted. Vote for someone who will keep us from being killed by radical islamist terrorists. THAT is the main thing confronting us a s a people in this day and time.

Legalization will come eventually, however if we do not fight terrorism, we won't have the chance to enjoy it.

I'm sorry, but are you implying that because we're in a war thousands upon thousands of miles away we're not ever going to be attacked by terrorists? Because they almost did at fort dix, and they almost did at jfk airport...but we stopped them...and oh yeah, did I mention it was on OUR soil? These poor fuckers don't have the resources to invade our country and fight us on our soil, because they haven't in thousands of years. They fucking hijacked motherfucking airplanes...after they learned to fly them in AMERICA..Then they used a flying bomb to destroy two towers.

Why? Because the ultimate tactic isn't attacking a country, it is making a country pour their money and resources and soldiers into a country, to waste them...all the while the country plumits, people despise the president, and economic desperity..

All for what? For tomorrow when three or four more little terrorists are born, and their parents begin to instill their values upon these children, just as they've done for thousands of years, practicing their religion freely.

It's okay to practice any religion you want, as long as it doesn't involve what they believe in, or anything to do with marijuana...?

what you're seeming to not grasp here is the fact that the same crazy bastards killing our troops over there are the same ones we're letting into our country every day, freely to get together with more of the same crazy motherfuckers in OUR country on OUR soil...

You cannot kill a religion and beliefs by killing people, it will always be written in whatever the fuck they have...caves or whatever. It'll be there, forever, and they will believe in it forever.

[Psycho4Bud]

Half of the posts in this was about terrorism and Iraq so I moved it to politics. This now has NOTHING to do about Medical Marijuana news.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

In short here's what Ron Pauls view on foreign policy is..
They don't attack us because of our freedoms or because we don't think like they do.. they attack us because we've been meddling around in the middle east for over 50 years. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years, we've set up bases in Saudi Arabia which they call Holy Land, we've been messing with them for a long time. The CIA calls this blowback, it's in the 9/11 commission report, michael scheuffer supports this position (head chief of CIA Bin Laden Unit).. and even bin laden gave scheuffer a shout out in his video (if you don't believe me on why we hate you, maybe you'll believe an America).

We can't go around the world doing what we want, trying to impose our will on others, without inciting hatred.. that is the main motivation for September 11th and terrorist attacks. What would we think if another country like China came over here and started doing this to us? We would try to fight. Why aren't terrorists attacking other free countries like France or something? C'mon... thinking they attack us because of our freedoms is extremely dangerous thinking and very ignorant. It is better if we just came home and protected.. they wouldn't have an incentive to attack us and we'd be a lot less likely to even be attacked.. and we can spend all that TRILLIONS and TRILLIONS of dollars here protecting ourselves, our borders and helping our people here at home instead of wasting it overseas trying to police the world and build an empire. It is the ONLY economically feasible policy and the only sane and feasible foreign policy. Think about it guys.. do some research. We're going broke, we have to borrow billions of dollars each day from China, Japan, etc just to fund the war.. Our national debt is 9 trillion+. The dollar is getting weaker and weaker and we're printing money out of thin air. This defective foreign policy is costing us lives, money and the sacrifice of civil liberties here at home. It doesn't make sense.

BTW, Ron Paul voted to go after the terrorists after 9/11.. but he was the first to say NO to Iraq. Like I said, he has the only sane foreign policy and anyone who believes otherwise is brainwashed by the media and hasn't done enough research to know the truth.

Paul wins.

[angry nomad]

I liked Ron Paul's response to the patient.

[PharmaCan]

Hello - Time for a reality check here. There is no "War on Terror". If there were a war on terror, our borders would protected.

Maybe there should be a war on terror, but right now there is not.

PC :smokin:

[Old Stoner]

I'm sorry, but are you implying that because we're in a war thousands upon thousands of miles away we're not ever going to be attacked by terrorists?

No, not what I am saying at all. They have tried, and so far in six years, THEY HAVE FAILED. Thousands have been arrested, stopped cold. Could be a LOT WORSE.

Why? Because the ultimate tactic isn't attacking a country, it is making a country pour their money and resources and soldiers into a country, to waste them...all the while the country plumits, people despise the president, and economic desperity..

Yep, Americans have gone soft. We cannot compare to the having the resolve of our forefathers. We had to go through YEARS of war just towhere we are today. However, if a World War started NOW, Americans wouldn't be able to handle it. WHY? Because we have gotten used to sitting on the couch and getting stoned. Or raising the kids. Or whatever. We have all become pussies (sorry for the French, but it's true).

Even up against someone who, if they met you in a dark alley, would KILL YOU for NO REASON AT ALL, well, sorry, they do have a reason. It's just because they disagree with our way of life.

These folks ain't kidding. They want YOU dead. Believe it or not. You must KNOW who you are dealing with - terrorists know THEY must.

All for what? For tomorrow when three or four more little terrorists are born, and their parents begin to instill their values upon these children, just as they've done for thousands of years, practicing their religion freely.

I guess if that happens, then my grandchildren will be fighting them. Just as my sons are now. Just as millions of other young men and women have done since day one. They keep "you" FREE. You needn't tell my family about war. We KNOW what is at stake.

May I ask your age, Markass? Just wondering if that has something to do with it.

what you're seeming to not grasp here is the fact that the same crazy bastards killing our troops over there are the same ones we're letting into our country every day, freely to get together with more of the same crazy motherfuckers in OUR country on OUR soil....

ROFLMAO, I am grasping that fact ENTIRELY. Home defense sucks, but it is getting better. I believe illegals should be deported immediately. My ancestors had to come through legally, but many others slide right through. How do YOU propose to stop illegal immigration?

You cannot kill a religion and beliefs by killing people, it will always be written in whatever the fuck they have...caves or whatever. It'll be there, forever, and they will believe in it forever.

What YOU are failing to grasp is that it is NOT the religion with whom we are at war. We are at war with RADICALS WITHIN THAT RELIGION. Those radicals, whose use of God is to kill. Man, sounds like a great, peaceful section of the Muslim religion.

I am all for staying on the offense, which, apparently, some people cannot grasp that concept. Most never served a day in the military. So they have limited knowledge of that aspect, and of what we are up against.

Terrorism is the most pressing issue that faces America NOW. Ron Paul propses to pull ALL troops back inside the U.S. Let's "talk" to them. Ok, Ron, let's see if Osama will set you up with an appointment to visit with him. I sure he won't mind...

[JohnnyII]

Osama still isn't wanted by the FBI because there is no hard evidence linking him with 9/11.

FBI says, "No hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11"

[Breukelen advocaat]

He's got a 25 million dollar bounty placed on his head by the FBI, for things he did prior to 9/11. FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitive - Usama Bin Laden

As far as "evidence": He was not there - but he freely admits to being responsible for it, in films and other media sources.

Actually, was he Osama?

Expert Goes On Record: Bin Laden 9/11 Confession Is Bogus

Not trying to defend Osama, but I don't believe he was behind 9/11. In other interviews other than the tape that "he" confessed on (look at that link) he has claimed innocence and proclaims that attacking women and children is against Islamic Jihad law.
