Donkey Culpa

I recently wrote a mancrushian post about candidate Rep. Ron Paul and although I am not quite ready to completely retract my unofficial endorsement I must concede the point made by Rhino in his previous post in regards to the Congressman's jackassery during yesterdays debate in Dearbornistan.

The point that I think he was trying to make is that we are fighting a new type of enemy not united by a national identity but rather an ideology based on madness, and on that note I agree. Although a resounding success, our military victory in Afghanistan did not eradicate the terrorist threat. Now I'm not saying we shouldn't kick ass where ass kicking is required but we need to realize that conventional warfare (carpet bombing notwithstanding) is not the only solution just as our Revolutionary Forefathers understood that standing toe to toe with the Tories would result in failure.

Well I hope thats what he was trying to say.

Take for example, Haditha, where for all the talk of the success of the surge, a marked improvement can be directly traced to the Marines implementing old school Mongolian tactics of surrounding trouble spots with berms.

Outside the box gents.

That being said Paul sure did put his foot in his mouth and played right into Giuliani's hands and strong point by implying that we have never been in danger of an imminent threat in 220 years. That's just flat out wrong and historically ignorant. Of course 9/11 is the most recent and emotional example and Pearl Harbor is another popular answer but would it kill these guys to show a little effort. What about the attack on Dutch Harbor or the sacking of Buffalo? How can you expect to lead this country if you know so little about our history. God I hate being smarter than these numb skulls and I am half an idiot.

So that was strike one for Paul or actually strike two for me.

One of the issues that I most agreed with Rep Paul is that we as nation need to re-adopt a policy of pseudo-isolationism not only to protect our security interests but that of our fiscal as well, and that is why it troubled me to see that he is in favor of Borse Dubai/ Nasdaq deal. You can not preach fair trade protectionism and then be in favor of a deal such as this. That shit don't fly with me. Only Rep. Hunter nailed this question and for all the right reasons.

It was cute when the Japanese bought Rockefeller Center or some Canucks bought Coors Brewery (although the argument could be made that was in our National interests as Coors sucks) but enough is fookin enough. Allowing foreign interests to own our financial markets, ports, and military technology companies is a one hundred percent guaranteed recipe for disaster. America first bitches!!!

So on second thought, am I retracting my unofficial Ron Paul endorsement and flip flopping? You betcha sweet ass I am.

I'm sorry Duncan I didn't mean to hurt you, it'll be different this time I promise.

As far as Huckabee's statement on the tax status of pimps and hos, although I have long advocated the the removal of the tax exempt status for Sharpton's National Action Network, I gotta give it up for the biotches on this one as I am against any and all taxation of the skin trade.

Pimps up , Taxes down
