Blame america First - or Not
...maybe we can elect someone who will PUT america First
Goodness gracious.
There's plenty of 'Def bait' in this uote (sp) but the part that really irks me is this:
His "blame America" attitude...
To sociologists, this little snippet of propaganda is called a 'one -sided message'. It is the opposite of a two sided message - one that encourages uestion (sp) and debate. Though it has been chiefly used by the current administration, Democrats have also abused it's manipulative power. This style of persuasion is often used to circle wagons and is fed to those who already agree with the messenger.
' One - sided messages can be effective, but only with "lazy-receivers" who already favor your side of the argument and who are unlikely to hear another viewpoint'. ( Persuasion and Social Influence, Trenholm 1989 p. 242)
The messenger in this case may very probably (are) be Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Both of whom can suck my cock for continually dumbing down america with such polarizing fare .
Dr. Ron Paul, who served in Vietnam, is a Physician, a former Libertarian Presidential Candidate (1988), served as a Texan Representative off and on since 1976, and is now a Republican Presidential Candidate would probably be unshaken to hear himself described as some un-american 'blame america first' sellout. Perhaps, he'd even correct the messenger by explaining that he understands our foreign policy isn't performing as well as it could, and that certainly some change is in order. Much unlike the suits-on-strings Romney and Guliani.
'Hey, I know, let's continue running the country the exact same way it's been run for the last 8 years.'
Please hand the reigns to Hillary via political suicide, she'll be the same product in a new package.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Kinda' like what happened with Congress recently.
Want more of the same direction? Most people don't. Check this out:
– 82 percent say people in other countries view the United States unfavorably.
– 71 percent say people in other countries now view the American people unfavorably.
– 53 percent of American believe the largest threat facing the United State is from terrorist organizations.
– 83 percent of Americans believe the U.S. should share a leadership role with allies and other countries around the world.
– 63 percent of voters think the U.S. should focus on domestic problems instead of foreign affairs.
– 56 percent of Americans believe that the war in Iraq is distracting us from the war on terror.
– 67 percent believe the war in Iraq is creating more terrorists.
– 72 percent favor diplomacy to pressure with Iran.
Those figures come from a poll conducted by the aspen Ideas Festival.
apparently, the same old same old doesn't cut it with some voters.
We need new blood. We need new ideas and new direction. We've seen the same old staid response from the majority of the Republican Candidates aside from Dr. Ron Paul - a true conservative, and we've seen plenty of inaction and unfulfilled promise from those on the Democratic side.
Will you believe the propaganda and vote for the same old suit or will you vote for the Patriot who wants to renew and restore american tradition?
, Paul has distinguished himself by his strict and sometimes unpopular adherence to his set of libertarian and conservative principles.
He has never voted to raise taxes or congressional pay and refuses to participate in the congressional pension system or take
government-paid junkets. He also opposed the USA PATRIOT Act, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, and the Iraq War.
Paul supports free trade, gun ownership, and tight border security. He opposes capital punishment, foreign intervention, income tax, the
war on drugs, and gay marriage as well as federal definition of marriage. He thinks that Roe v. Wade should be overturned, and is
personally opposed to abortion, which he believes should be regulated only by the states. He also believes that the federal government
should have no influence on education. He has stated that religion should play a role in public life, but that there should be no state
religion.
