From The Wiki Damn It

Stephen Green, Vodka Pundit, was discussing/live blogging Tuesday's Republican debate and it came out that Stephen (or Vodka as he is fondly known) was once a card carrying Libertarian. So I left a few words:

Another ex-card-carrying-Libertarian. Woo hoo.

I remember a Lib fundraiser calling me about a month after 9/11 and I made smoke come out of his ears.

They haven't called back since. The party must have shrunk 40% in that month.

I've got a few of them on a Ron Paul thread at Classical Values and one guy thought we beat the Barbary Jihadis in 1801-03 (Jefferson) with Letters of Marque and privateers.

Then I pulled up some quotes from the wiki (from the wiki damn it!!!!) and he went quiet.

So then he goes all "no declaration of war" on me and I pulled up another wiki (from the wiki damn it!!!!) about the War on the Barbary Jihadis. More silence. Then I pulled up the actual AUMF and compared it with Jefferson's Congress AUMF from the wiki (from the wiki damn it!!!!) and he hasn't been back since.

Libs live in Libertopia. The land that never was or will be. Like the Socialists looking for the New Socialist Man the Libs are looking for New Libertarian Man. I hope they find him and marry him.

Update:

We have a Brilliant Ron Paul supporter in the comments who asks why we have a foreign policy.

Because the Constitution gives the President the power to conduct foreign relations. You can look it up in the wiki damn it!!!!

I read that thread. Nobody asked or answered the fundamental questions. Why do we have a foreign policy? Do we really need a foreign policy? What if we didn't have one?

I support Ron Paul because he thinks we don't need one and I don't either. The Swiss don't have a foreign policy and they do pretty well.

If the Swiss have no foreign policy, why do they have embassies?
