At least McCain held on to F.T in some capacity it gives us a small glimmer of hope…

I suppose the next best thing would be if Fred was the VP.

I am glad Mr Bush was not President during the Cold War, as we would all be buried under glass.

Ron Paul may not have been a lot of people’s cup of tea, but let’s face it, during the debates, he got very little air time, as did Tancredo and Hunter. Hard to explain your points when being ignored. Of course the Big Clowns such as Guili Girl, Mitzi, and the clown of all clowns, Uncle Freddy, got a lot of time. McAmnesty was dead in the water a year ago, and suddenly got the money to win the nomination. Okay.

That’s all water under the bridge, now. We’ll continue our headlong rush to the edge of the cliff, whether at 90 mph with the Socialists DIMS or at 85 mph with the Socialist Lite PUBS. Each succeeding cycle will find the candidates moving farther and farther to the left; after all, that is what the sheeple want. Bread and Circuses

When is war just? I mean Afghanistan IMO was just, Iraq IMO was just if the intel was correct..THE WAY THEY WERE CONDUCTED is my problem with both of those instances.

We shouldn’t have to wait for an attack before we strike, that was an outdated view that IMO doesn’t take into account the ability of folks and countries to wipe out LARGE numbers of civilians now that they didn’t have in the WW2 era. NUCLEAR weapons changed the rules. IMO.

I don’t discuss Iraq anymore the reason is I am not happy about the way things have been done there but I refuse to condemn the conflict to failure while our guys are still in combat.

But the rest of your so called “Outdated views” are not only accurate and I agree with them, however you can’t go back in time and change the decisions that were made. The reason Ron Paul didn’t do better is he didn’t say how he would “Put the genie back in the bottle” so to speak, you cant support the lazy SOB’s for 3 generations and then say “You are on your own” You can’t offer support to the world in the advancement of freedom and democracy and then turn the funding off, you cant change the country to gold standard in one fell swoop, when for the last 50 years we have done it this way….he never once articulated his plans to MOVE in that direction he just blamed and blamed and poointed out flaws.

Like I said Shooter I would vote for RP before I vote for McCain, just because he has one more check mark beside his name in the “GOOD” column, that being the border.

Going to war only when that war is just and we’ve been attacked. That does not include trying to export democracy at the point of a gun and pre-emptive war.

I believe in a strong specie currency; FIAT money will be the doom of us. Central Banks were anathema to all but a few of the Founders. The Central Bank by pumping too much money into the system are the cause of most of our financial woes

I believe in the rights of man above all else. George Mason, who wrote the Bill of Rights was such a strong supporter of the Rights of Man, he would not approve of the Constitution, without a Bill of Rights. I believe they take precedent over all other aspects of government.

I believe ever since the days of Dishonest Abe Lincoln, our country has ran roughshod over mens rights and the Rights of the States ( actually a misnomer, as governments only have powers, not rights )

Our nation has become an empire- it has ceased being a Republic.

That’s a few of my outdated views, Robert.

The view that we must curtail our speech in order not to offend is by all rights a good idea if possible, however once you bring up a topic like Illegal Immigration you become a target of the race baiter’s.

I am not sure if that is what you meant by old school.
