    Beneath its exhortation to “return to the Constitutional Republic the Founders intended,” the Ron Paul Revolution is animated by the ideological reflexes that drive Leftist radicals. We push-back against the creed of the Paulists because its consequences hardly differ from those of the Leftist agenda we normally confront.

    Those identifying themselves as Constitutional Republicans...dream of a profoundly transformed America. In this “Constitutional Utopia,” free from the “military-industrial complex,” America would no longer be controlled by greedy corporations and global bankers who plunder the world. Freedom fighters everywhere “would no longer be terrorists since America wouldn’t be an occupier.” We would withdraw to pristine isolationism, a Daniel Boone wilderness with virtually no government involvement in our lives. Of course, initial massive government regulation would be needed to bring about the country’s liberation from the Big Corporations now enslaving us. Once the people are free from the Military-Industrial neo-cons, power would be returned to the small businesses and individuals.

    Nihilism is the second element of the Leftist mind-set, it is the bitter hatred for any manifestation of American world intervention. Withdrawal of American military influence is a common theme for the Dr. Paul and sympathizers.

    Dr. Rand Paul spoke of forming a coalition with the Left to “defeat the Military-Industrial Complex,” a move that would eliminate America’s presence in the Middle-East, contributing as effectively as the Left to the Holocaust of which Mr. Horowitz wrote.

    i really don't care what they are, they can kill each other all off and i won't shed a tear. We shouldn't be trying to conform people who have been around alot longer than we have to our way of living, and our form of government.

    Does that mean we should let the ruling Mullahs of Iran get the Islamic bomb?

    The strawman is strong in this one.

    they already have a nuclear program, and we aren't doing anything about it. And everyone is so worried about Iran and Afghanistan, and Iraq, to me its f'n Pakistan that is dangerous.
