Infinite Monkeys...but he is not fit to be president.
But you already knew that, didn't you?
Congressman Paul's supporters have found us. And may God bless them for it. With any luck, we'll get traffic like we got during the Danish Muhammad cartoon controversy. The comparison is apt, I'm sorry to say. Fanaticism, while commonplace, comes in many hues and shades.
To Paul's supporters, I would say: The United States does not exist in a vacuum. We can spend days upon days recounting the sins of America and her foreign policy over the decades. But the bottom line is, the country acts in its interests, whatever those interests happen to be. And the rest of the world -- countries, nations, ethnicities, religious sects -- reacts.
But, not to put too fine a point on it, the rest of the world acts in its own interests. Ron Paul's philosophy of non-interventionism, though commendable in theory, does not recognize the ways in which the rest of the world acting in its interests adversely affects the interests of the United States.
Like it or not, America is an empire -- with all that word entails. Ron Paul may be a fine legislator, and a faithful acolyte of the Constitution. But he is not fit to be president. Read Fisher Ames. Read Cicero.
