How is being a non-intervetionist not tenable?

Our fate is linked to that of the rest of the world. We need to promote a stable and prosperous world.

Keep in mind that intervening in world affairs is not the same thing as arbitrarily invading other countries. George Bush (et al) is incompetant.

It has been due to the fact that we have totally been interventionists that has gotten us where we are now?

Incompetance will always lead to failure, regardless of the philosophy it tries to follow.

We have been run by incompetance since Johnson. Our fate is also tied to us being a good, just nation that is free of corruption. To acheive that, we will be very busy. with no time for getting involved in other peoples' wars or domestic affairs. Technologies can be exchanged that could better the planet but that is all.

Why nuts? Has he said anything that is nuts? If so, please give example.

I'll give you 3 examples:

This is on Bill Maher alone

We shouldn't have fought the civil war

We should scrap the CIA

And if it's not in the constitution we shouldn't have it.

Now I'm now genius but this seems a little wack.
And I don't think Kucinich, Dodd, Brownback, Hagel, or any of the rest are getting a fair shake in the media.

I believe you're misquoting him here. It isn't that we shouldn't have it, but rather that the federal government shouldn't be doing that which the Constitution does not explicitly grant them the power to do.

Do you disagree, and if so, why?

I would prefer if that was all we used, the cold war was far more civilized than all this reconstruction bullshit.

Are you sure? Some would say that it uses us.

I just saw Ron Paul's myspace profile right on the front of the main myspace page. This is great. More exposure.

That was a great interview. Everything that Bill asked him were good hard questions. And I believe that RP's answers were bulletproof. How could you not want this guy for president?

Every answer got right to the root cause of the problems that you addressed. No, it is not your standard Washington-Type-Announcement. It was the types of answers that Americans deserve and pay for.
