Jeezus, people. Have a little respect for people who are not sitting at home watching Miley Cyrus shake her butt on TV. There is not peace in Syria. Please do not confuse avoiding a US military action (not a war, mind you) with peace. It doesn't equal peace for anyone but a couple dozen Air Force pilots ... and the people who want to go back to looking at Miley Cyrus shake her butt.

That only kill the villainous people. (I know people who still think only bad people died during our "Shock and Awe" on the people of Iraq.)

I am thinking of the same Dennis who pals around with Ron Paul.

The man who wrote amongst other things...

“Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks three days after rioting began. ... What if the checks had never arrived? No doubt the blacks would have fully privatized the welfare state through continued looting. But they were paid off and the violence subsided.”

A December 1990 newsletter describes Martin Luther King Jr. as “a world-class adulterer” who “seduced underage girls and boys” and “replaced the evil of forced segregation with the evil of forced integration.”

The September 1994 issue of the Ron Paul Survival Report states that “those who don’t commit sodomy, who don’t get blood a transfusion, and who don’t swap needles, are virtually assured of not getting AIDS unless they are deliberately infected by a malicious gay.”

The "Dem" who took a job at Fox so they can have a "liberal" to bash the President.

The man who was anti choice then pro choice when he wanted to run for president. Doing a reverse Mitt. I am thinking of the right person.

I am a liberal. Dennis is a wacko who finds common cause with a Bircher like Paul.

The common default response.


Anyone who disagrees with me is a troll.


Why not try challenging me on what I said instead of calling me names?

Kucinich and Paul both voted against the Iraq War Resolution. To that extent, yes, they have found common cause, and Kucinich has not been unrelievedly negative about Paul's public service.

On other matters, of course, such as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the stimulus package) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), they were on opposite sides.

In 2008, I preferred Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton. My main reason was that Obama had endorsed the Ron Paul position of opposing the Iraq War Resolution, while Clinton had voted for it. I guess that Obama and I, and every other opponent of that imperialist fiasco, can now be dismissed as the moral equivalent of Birchers because we found common cause with Ron Paul against Hillary Clinton and her allies.

You can sling around this McCarthyism (guilt by association) all you want. I am proud to have found common cause with all the other opponents of that horrible blunder. My guess is that, in the intervening eleven years, Dennis Kucinich has also seen no reason to regret his decision.
