I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
I was impressed by Ron Paul's wisdom. He correctly identified the problems of growing oppression and tyranny by government force on behalf of special interests and politicians motivated by power. The main problem is that a government based on individual liberties can be successful only when people are virtuous and guided by principles of rational morality. We need to turn away from our culture of violence which is evidenced by undeclared wars as well as government sponsored invasion, by means of force, of personal privacy, liberty, and choice.

You leftists want to turn the US into ass-kissers instead of
ass-kickers.
Unfortunately you are succeeding :-(

Now, if you could just convince other governments about this that would do us harm, we could get somehere.

Sigh. Take a lesson from the King Asoka of the Mauryan Empire.
Big snip here because I want to focus on one thing. An ass-kicker country? National debt? Don't think so and the implosion is imminent. The ass-kicker thing goes way back to post WWII when we could do no wrong and now we can do no right because we are in debt to unfriendly countries.

US ass-kicking has worked so abysmally badly in Irak and Iran that
it's obvious that you needed to turn to ass-kissing.
Unfortunately, the Tea Party has a majority in Congress, and it's
those asses who will have to be kissed before anything sensible can
get done, and they prefer money to honeyed words.

Actually, you can do no right because your electoral system now works
to elect the candidate who can spend more on well-targeted TV
advertising, which has bought you the congress you deserve, though you
managed to avoid electing the president you deserved.

No problem. You've got more money than pretty much anybody else, so
undeclared wars ought to be just your thing. The fact that you
reliably back bunches of biddable thugs who only stay biddable until
you've got them into power is an error of judgment on your part. No
other government is silly enough to want to play that particular game,
least of all against you.

I wonder what that part of the sentence was intended to mean. Cameo
probably doesn't know either.

True. Teddy Roosevelt was enthusiastic about trust busting and
increased regulation of businesses, and you could do with a bit more
of that, but any candidate running on that ticket today wouldn't get
a lot of corporate support.

But of the progressive wing of the Republican Party, at a time when
the Republican Party was a lot more liberal than it is now, and the
Democrats a lot less liberal.

Yes, I know you know that, but our R friends in this group don't.
They think a R is an R and always has been.
