(18,402 posts)If Ron Paul got into office. The war might be over (but, then, it would be anyway, since Obama has already made the move to remove troops from Afghanistan, some of which have already left, and committed to all troops having left by 2014) but the war at home would just be beginning.
The war on our environment: Ron Paul wants to close down almost every government agency, but first on his list is the Environmental Protection Agency. He thinks it just shouldn't exist. That's a war on the air we breathe and the water we drink. Lots of children would probably die.
The war on health care: Ron Paul wants to axe Medicare and Medicaid, as well as this newfangled universal health plan that has passed. He wants the glorious free market to take care of you. A lot of us, especially grandma, are gonna die in this war.
The war on our government: frankly, Ron Paul doesn't want much of a government at all. The free market will take care of everything; and when we have the gold standard back, it will be nirvana! Oh, make that a living hell, in a third-world country.
I don't really think Ron Paul is anti-war at all.
