If you hit someone and kill their family, they will hate you and
probably hit you back in the future.

That’s what blowback is all about. It seems like such a simple concept,
but many of Ron Paul’s opponents for the Presidency vehemently denied
its validity.

They proclaim that what our military does abroad has no effect on how
the citizens of the world feel towards us. The 9/11 terrorists hated our
wealth and freedom so intensely that they sacrificed their lives to
prove it? (Of course, our government bombing their countries, propping
up their dictators and supplying their enemies with money and weapons
had nothing to do with it…)

Instead of securing our borders, we’ve been planning, initiating and
waging wars of aggression. Our military is spread thin all across the
planet, yet we remain involved in dangerous power plays that
unnecessarily put the lives of our soldiers at risk. And we brazenly
squandered the wealth of our nation as if there were no tomorrow.

It doesn’t make any sense unless you consider increasing the profits of
the military-industrial complex to be in the “national interest”, no
matter what the cost to the rest of us may be.

America first. That is what Ron Paul‘s national defense proposal is all
about. And with America he means all Americans, not just the elite. If
elected President, Ron Paul will continue his efforts to secure our
borders, safely bring our troops back home, and finally overhaul the
intelligence apparatus in cooperation with intelligence professionals
rather than political opportunists.

Ron Paul loves America. He is one of the very few true patriots left in
Washington who are actively working on protecting our freedoms, our
lives and our dignity.
